xgetdomainname was written by Simon Josefsson. I checked the GNU programs I thought he might be contributing to (GnuTLS, libtasn1, nettle, Emacs, inetutils) and xgetdomainname doesn't seem to be used there any more.
While looking into memory allocation issues I noticed the xgetdomainname
module. As far as I know, nobody uses it, so I propose we remove it. The
getdomainname function is used for the NIS domain name, and few programs
would need that nowadays, as the world has mostly moved on to LDAP etc.
