I see a huge problem there, let's call it IPv6 problem. During the
transition phase to this new RR we need to have a fallback, right? How
long do we need to have that fallback for old resolvers and browsers?
I'd say approximately until DNS has been replaced by some other tech.
If we are lucky DoH would solve it by doing what those previously
mentioned companies are doing now on their servers, but then we would
cry again that it's the wrong solution.
