Hi Matthijs,

Thanks for your feedback.

In the case there is no knowledge about the parent's preference I agree it is a

I don't see why the parent should dismiss the update because the other, 
redundant format is missing.

Only to keep the door open for later deprecation of one of the two types by the 
community. It's up to the community to decide whether that is a goal or not.

I like to point out that there is a similar thing with DNSSEC validation and 
algorithms: On the authoritative side we require a zone to be signed with all 
algorithms signaled in the DS, but the validator should accept a single valid 
path.

True, but there are several algorithms that they MUST support, which and there 
are algorithms that MUST NOT used by for signing any longer. It is this 
multiplicity of supporting things that allows transition paths. There is no 
such multiplicity around C* support today, and as a result there will not be a 
deprecation path unless we create it.

Also I suggest to ask this question on other DNS operator mailing lists, to have a broader input (DNS-OARC, RIPE WG, CENTR, ...).

Good idea, thanks!

Note that I'm not attempting to advocate for a specific outcome -- I actually don't have 
a preference. I'd just this stuff to work as best as possible, so that we don't regret 
decisions later, hence me trying to be explicit about future effects to enable 
"conscious consensus". :)

Best,
Peter
