No offense, but this is a typical thought, and one that shows that you've no idea the hundreds of corner cases that trap you.
There's a reason 'its always DNS' is a meme.
A simple example. Someone makes a new domain name, cnames it to their previous domain for web, and adds an MX record for emails. Why doesn't it work?
I'm sure you can Google the answer. But this stuff comes up -all- the time
- KronisLV 5y agoIf people trip up with certain things all the time, then is the technology itself suited for the problems that people need to solve? Because at that point, it feels like people are serving the technology and its many quirks, not the other way around. But regardless of that thought, i think both your words and those of the parent comment have merit - different levels of detail fit into different pieces of text (RFCs, vs a "How To" blog post), which fit different purposes. The quality of the information in either, however, still remains in question (given that some popular implementations of technologies, don't always even respect RFCs fully).
