Description

That way, we can get rid of some of the fallback logic. See the TODO here: https://github.com/libp2p/go-reuseport-transport/pull/6#discussion-diff-245203302R42

Alternatively, we can remove the TODO.

Research direction

Start by reading the reuseport code around reuseDial and the TODO referenced in pull request #6, especially the discussion at the linked diff. Determine whether reuseDial is called when port reuse is not wanted; done means either removing that unnecessary call and fallback logic or explicitly removing the TODO after confirming no change is needed.
