"We?"

I disagee that we should be trying to limit the data held in DNS.  I
believe that volume is not an issue and should not be artificially limited.

OTOH, I feel that we should limit the impact on DNS by the data held in
DNS.  (E.g., the A6 record impacts the DNS more so than the A record.  Not
that this makes the A6 evil, but it is less desirable than an A.)

...the ensuing arguement is off the topic at hand though...

If we did, we did so with less operational input.
