You're greatly greatly overestimating the problem with new dns types.

I agree.

So for those of us who weren't around when Marid slogged
throgh this, can somebody give a short synopsis of the
deployment issues? Naively, Bind9 provides the ability to
put any new RR into DNS that you care to dream up. I'm not
sure how rosy of a reception that Cisco's admins would give
that prospect, but then again, anything that ain't an A
record does that.
