> someone says DNSSEC is, at last, easy to deploy
Almost not a week goes by on HN where there's a headline about some well-known company or government organization that did something (or didn't do something) to either get themselves knocked off the internet or were compromised.
While companies screwing up DNSSEC has gotten some companies knocked of the net, it pales in comparison to other reasons for companies getting knocked off the net.
But whatever.
A more nuanced take on the ease of deploying DNSSEC: it's easy to do for the weekend hobbyist working on a side project or a homelab. Or a small organization whose registrar and internet host both support DNSSEC.
Deploying DNSSEC is definitely not easy if you're running at Facebook, Twitter, Apple, etc. scale. There are other reasons too, but there's no need to rehash once again.
