Hi, I'm having a hard time with both sides of the argument, especially the supposed existence of an "interop problem" which seems to only highlight how to "procedurally" stump the SPF type advocates with a "error correction" standpoint. What is that error by the way? I don't believe there was an adequate answer from the advocates of removing the SPF RR type and the repeated assertion that its been discussed at length has not been convincing it was appropriately addressed. It all seem to be a "Shut up" approach to the problem (always suggest that its been discussed already). This seems to be one of the reasons why the issue will not go away. My take is that the initial MARID design expectations were being met. This fact is a very important design consideration in all this; the original expectation for a TXT/SPF migration, although very slowly, there were some deployments administratively (publishers) and technically (processors). I would like to point out the lack of a majority does not/should not represent a lack of interest. In my estimation, the WG did receive positive support expressing sincere technical interest in adding support for the SPF record type primarily because there was some level of adoption discovered during the "interop" report work. Please include us (SSI) as having interest in enabling/adding SPF record support. I recommend the following to be considered to basically allow implementators to decide: 1) Continue with the TXT/SPF migration plan, fix up this plan, 2) Address any technical protocol issue with using an SPF type, 3) Add implementation designs notes on the pros and cons. This will allow coders to add the optimized logic for usage. It will also allow for new problem solving seeds to be laid down. It will hopefully get the DNS software vendors to finally add direct support for unnamed TYPE support (query and passthru) not only for SPF but for future DNS application protocols. Finally, which is what I have been trying to get - why hasn't the IETF taking this issue (unnamed type support) very serious? This is an integration DNS issue - not just an SPF issue. If the DNS vendors don't address this, this, to me, would be the only logical and feasible reason to remove the SPF type or even bother with any new RR type concept. The interop problem cited to exist within RFC 4408 is not convincing to me. Overall, as an early adopter, the only reason my package doesn't have SPF support was purely for short term optimizations and lack of servers with unnamed type processing support - no mas. If we remove SPF support, then we lost it forever. I don't think we have viewed a possible long term solution from an integrated protocol standpoint. -- HLS On 8/19/2013 4:48 PM, Pete Resnick wrote: > Speaking in my capacity as responsible AD for this WG and document, and > the one who is going to have to judge the consensus of this Last Call > and report to the IESG. > > On 8/19/13 3:08 PM, Andrew Sullivan wrote: > >> Note that I am not the shepherd for this draft, but I am the WG >> co-chair. >> >> On Mon, Aug 19, 2013 at 05:05:21PM +0200, Måns Nilsson wrote: >> >>> * The charter disallows major protocol changes -- removing the SPF RR >>> type >>> is a direct charter violation; since SPF is being used on the Internet. >> That argument doesn't work, because the WG had to make a major >> protocol change in this area no matter what, since 4408 has an >> interoperability problem.
