Re: [DNSOP] [homenet] Fwd: WGLC on "redact" and "homenet-dot"

David, it would seem that fact-driven processes might serve the operational
ecosystem better than SWAG, don't you agree?
Warren, do you have, even antecdotal data on the impact of aggressive NSEC
and traffic to the roots, that would inform this discussion (maybe).  At
least it would give the root operators a heads up that they were, once
again, being asked to backstop issues that should be handled elsewhere.
