Alternatively, we could go through working group last call,
IETF last call, and IESG push-back. For any interesting
push-back, we are probably looking at delays in the range of
6 months. (That estimate is, of course, not merely
theoretical.)
I would rather have a 6 month pushback from the IESG than a spec that is
dependent on the next release of Windows Server to become viable.
Nicely put. I agree completely with this sentiment.
The first does not delay deployment in the slightest. As far as I am
concerned its damn the torpedoes.
Yup.
The second will mean as an absolute minimum waiting for a BIND product cycle
and will require a much higher degree of support from ISPs and DNS Registrars.
And as you pointed out later, DKIM may well provide the push needed to
get DNSSEC deployed, dragging better RR support along in the process.
We're much better off in the role of horse than acting like a cart, especially
when there's no other horse in sight.
