Background
EquivalentAddressGroup is intended to represent a small set of addresses for the same endpoint (e.g., IPv4/IPv6). A long-standing TODO in EquivalentAddressGroup#toString() suggested adding summarization for very large address lists.
During review, maintainers noted that large address lists within a single EquivalentAddressGroup are no longer expected in current designs, and the historical behavior that could create a very large group (e.g., by aggregating many groups into one) has been removed. As a result, the TODO is now obsolete.
Changes
Remove the obsolete TODO comment in EquivalentAddressGroup#toString().
Add a brief explanatory comment capturing why summarization is no longer needed.
Purpose
Avoid leaving stale TODOs that imply work is still required.
Align the codebase with the intended semantics and current behavior of EquivalentAddressGroup.
Note
This change is comment-only and does not alter any runtime behavior or output format.
Fixes #12593
