duane, if your point is that dnssec is horrid misshapen pig that even
its mother could not love, then you will find noone (anywhere) willing
to argue otherwise.  it's late, it's ugly, it's fragile, it's a pig,
and that's the universal view of it, there are no dissenters.

but having ridden the whole ride and having seen victory declared several
times, i am in the "it can be made to work in its present form without any
more flag days" camp.  call that groupthink if you must, say what you want
about me, but say also that i hate dnssec but plan to deploy it anyway.
