You have the source code, make all the changes to the resolver library you want to. In fact, once you've made the changes, please submit them using send-pr since although I definitely agree that it's an invalid hostname for the global internet I disagree with our resolver not being able to handle it. Labels with an underscore in them are perfectly valid for intranets, and the new SRV RR uses underscores. What you need to stop doing is complaining about it. You've been told why it is how it is, you have the means to fix it yourself, so fix it or don't, that's up to you. But further complaining doesn't do anyone any good.
