the question is not that "nobody" checks type 99, the question is

As John pointed out, support for checking type 99 has decreased and
continues to decrease rather than increase. So waiting longer is not going
to solve the issue.
that is unclear... we have second hand reports, but only actual
data from very recent DNS logs. did those numbers increase or
decrease? No evidence has been presented.
Putting a statement in an RFC does not mean that the world will
automatically advance towards that particular end state.
ain't it the truth. -BUT- its still worthwhile documenting the
best technical path and why it was abandoned. The issues wrt
wildcards (thanks), DNSSEC considerations, and code overhead to
demux type 16 vs. the temporary problem of two lookups -IF- type
99 is not used, plus past guidance from the IAB and the IESG really
need to make it into a document in the RFC cannon.
Forcing a WG to adopt a position to suit another constituency is not going
to lead them to advocate for that position in deployment constituencies.
Particularly when the original constituency does nothing to advance
deployment.

Point the bias arrow either way youd like. And as stated elsewhere, if
Yahoo, Google,
Microsoft, AOL, et.al. were simply waiting for the IETF to settle on a
solution,
I'll raise O'Dells law; "The installed base does not matter".
End of the day, the SPFBIS wg is adament in their choice, document,
explain
and move on.

I think the SPFBIS folks are annoyed enough...
