I'm not that surprised. It's pretty close to a bike shed topic; everyone
can understand it, it is not *that* important, and so everyone can have
an opinion that is basically as valid as any other. ;-)

I agree with Matthijs here.

I think Paul's advice of looking at prior work in deprecating unused (or
harmful) bits of the DNS protocol makes sense. Since the way software is
deployed and used is not exactly the same now as it was in 2002, so we
actually have to repeat the exercise and see how stuff breaks now (or
not... I mean... MB?).
