Re: [spfbis] Proof of non-deployment [root@primary.se: Cron <root@primary> /usr/local/libexec/spf-txt.sh]

It's always fun to be sarcastic, but you seem to be missing a point.  

The WG did not decide to deprecate the type for fun.  The problem was that there was a bug in the original RFC: the way the TXT and TYPE99 RRtype use was specified, it was possible for two implementations to be fully conforming without being able to interoperate. So we had to make an incompatible change of some kind, and given the empirical evidence we had the WG decided that picking only one was safest.  TXT remains the overwhelming leader, so it won.
