I get that you believe that this is wrong, but DNSOP currently has no
requirement for there to be an implementation report (nor for there to
be any implementations). The way to change this is by proposing that
this change (done), having the discussion (ongoing) and then having
the chairs declare consensus and that they will require this going
forward. It would also be useful for there to be clarity about what
exactly is required, and for what sort of documents (e.g how does one
implement attrleaf? or SUDN?), and when this would go into effect.

A number of people have told me that they wait until something becomes
an RFC before being willing implement it (some of this may be because
a significant number of adopted document have simply expired and not
been published) - suddenly requiring implementations is a large
change, and deciding it now and retroactively applying it to documents
which were about cooked seems a little unreasonable. I'd also note
that this somewhat disenfranchises participants who a: don't code and
/ or b: don't work for a vendor.

I'm (of course) fine if the WG / chairs decide that DNSOP needs
implementations before progressing documents, but your wording makes
it sound like you believe this this is already the case, and not
simply your (strong) preference.

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
