On the other hand, it might be just the right time to do this.  With
dnsext closure we can start with clean table and redesign the underlying
mechanisms hopefully with lessons learned so far.

I like the idea very much and I would like to initiate BoF in Vancouver
if there is an interest to pursue this dns-ng thing.  And no it is not
meant as replacement for dnsext.  The WG should do it's job, produce WG
document(s) and close.  I am not trying to get mad, y'know :-).

P.S.: I know I am responding to a month-old email, but better now than never...
