SPFBIS AD hat on for this:

We are *long* past this discussion. This discussion should have happened 
at SPFBIS *chartering* time, as it is crystal clear from the charter 
that existing features currently in use in SPF are not going away. 
Indeed, the TXT record was specifically mentioned in the charter.

I certainly have the same heartburn as everyone else about having used 
TXT in this manner, but that ship has long sailed. This is running and 
interoperable code and it is being documented on the standards track. 
Unless you think there is a piece of information I missed in my 
assessment that we had consensus to go forward with this work in the 
first place, you are going to have a hard time convincing me that this 
is not in the rough part of the consensus now.
