We are spending an awful amount of time on this l= issue, whether it should
be pulled, keep it and explaining how bad it is and discourage usage.
Agreed. I would like to deprecate it. But we don't have consensus
for going that far, and I think we're too late in the process to get
ourselves mired in that. What we're doing now is just short of
deprecating it -- saying that, well, you really shouldn't oughta use
it, without being normative.
The 6% using "l=" needlessly is a red flag.
Yep. Happily, we (where "we", here, mostly means Murray, but some
others as well) are collecting stats.
It's possible, later, for someone to create an individual submission
for "DKIM l= Considered Harmful", or some such, and perhaps if/when
someone ever moves DKIM to full Standard we can actually deprecate l=.
