Well, maybe not "we" who have been contributing to this discussion on this list. But I've observed that telling people something they want to do is "evil" doesn't really help them decide not to do it. Telling them what harm will be done, or telling them that there's a better way to accomplish their business or operational objectives, is often more productive. I find myself in discussions of alternate roots on a regular basis. The most effective ones neither begin nor end with anyone being accused of anything except trying to meet legitimate objectives by the most effective means available. I'll go further and say that most of the time, they'd even prefer to minimize harm to others along the way. Even when the discussion is a disguise for an extortion play ("Give us what we want or we'll take our toys and go home"), asserting that the subject is not even to be raised merely gives it more power as a threat. Some people are going to read an informational RFC documenting use cases and mechanisms for DNS redirect as endorsement by the IETF. I submit, however, that the same people were going to do it anyway, probably in ignorance that there was any particular downside to it or really with any more knowledge about it than they get from their vendors. > I would like to see some guidance from the WG chairs here.

I hope redirect-01 is more strictly descriptive and can drop defensive terms for DNS redirect, like "enhancement" of the "user experience", since it's by no means agreed that crippling DNSSEC (for example) enhances the value of the Internet for anyone. (My defense of the draft is by no means to be read as endorsing DNS redirect. I don't, for reasons I believe are so compelling that I'm willing to try to work with others to articulate them and let people decide for themselves.)
