Currently getaddrinfo picks the destination address in a round-robin 
fashion.

That's what could be done but isn't since I see little value.  We
currently return IPv6 address, if there are any and if they are wanted,
first, then the IPv4 addresses.  The order in which multiple IPv6 and/or
IPv4 addresses are returned depends on the order the server returns it
and eventually on artificial round-robin selection.

Oops, sorry.  That's what I meant.  The current behaviour is good.  
Putting v6 first is regular practice and good.
