What is the IETF-approved timeframe in which "the market" is allowed to a

I've no idea what the lower limit is or should be, but I'm quite sure that
 7 years exceeds it by a very comfortable margin.

By that logic we should abandon IPv6, DNSSEC, EDNS0, etc.


Gosh, David.  I guess you win.

When just about none of the documentation mentions the SPF record type
nor has examples with both SPF and TXT records it isn't the "market"
choosing.  You can't choose of you really havn't been informed.

    "But Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning
     office for the last nine months."

    "Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see
     them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn't exactly gone out of your
     way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually
     telling anybody or anything."

    "But the plans were on display ..."

    "On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them."

    "That's the display department."

    "With a flashlight."

    "Ah, well the lights had probably gone."

    "So had the stairs."

    "But look, you found the notice didn't you?"

    "Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom
     of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a
     sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."
