Re: A6/DNAME - game over

[Bill Manning <bmanning@ISI.EDU>]

	Humph.  A6/DNAME are being moved to -EXPERIMENTAL- not
	being depricated to -HISTORIC- so I don't see that killing
	off these two RR types in the reference implementation 
	makes sense, ...yet.  Looks like a reason to stay with 9.2.0
	to me.



% just fyi.  itojun and marka have done the deed.  as of 8.3.2 and 9.2.1,
% the bitstring approach to gethostbyaddr() for IPv6 will be dead.  i'm
% personally still quite convinced that this will make IPv6 less approachable
% for networks who want to multihome.  but professionally speaking, the
% ietf consensus on this matter is obvious.  ISC's mission is in two parts:
% (1) try to make the standards sensible; (2) implement whatever standards
% result.  i consider that we have failed at (1), and at considerable cost
% in BIND9's original time/money budgets as well as its performance.  but
% we are nevertheless continuing with (2).
