What’s so wrong of using TYPExxx for these if you absolutely need them to run the ancient technology while at the same time running the latest version of BIND (or your favorite DNS server)?

Your argument feels like strawman to me. And I am not the one sitting on a pile of passive DNS data, so I can’t pull the numbers...

We are not taking the ability to put random TYPEnnn records into the zone, we are just saying the tools just won’t understand them anymore. Again nothing is going to break on the day one.
