>Your argument is that DNSSEC has expert support and advocacy because the reference implementation of DNSSEC. Actually if you read exactly what I wrote I merely countered that it's not a famous sentiment, which the comment I was replying to said it was. I said it was a sentiment only seen, at least from my perspective, in particular circles and really only in passing. I would consider the fact that Google DNS and named support it by default to be a significantly appropriate counter to the whole "everyone knows this isn't really a good tool/specification" sentiment. And it's an excellent negation of "it's easy to find Google engineers criticizing it" when their own service and the company they work/did work for is using it by default with their DNS service. Indeed, while I thank you for actually linking something I and others can read, the fact that some engineer in the ether -- and not to impugn his work, credibility, or how well he is known in certain circles -- is writing on the subject doesn't really have the same publicity as services and defacto software enabling DNNSEC by default. Here's the important point: Because of the above, to the passing eye or as mere consumers of these tools and services it looks like a specification that would probably be a good idea and a credible one at that. There is nothing "famous" about it falling short, or being a solution in search of a problem when everyone who really matters in this space is using it. Surely you must see that. Again thanks for the reading material, it is very much appreciated.
