Should have been clearer. My point is that we as the IETF can recommend and specify but we have no control over what users/companies/vendors do with it. And operationally, we have to be sympathetic to legacy and obsolescence needs. Things like DNS flag day are a good start, assuming we do stay flexible with respect to such user needs. _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations
