where easier means "update all the root and TLD servers and load balancers

now* on that infrastructure. I would not call that "easier" at all.
There are a few acceptations of "easier" that characterize DNS over
SCTP vs DNSSEC:
* it can be retrofitted, i.e. less software changes,
* it needs no signatures, i.e. no upgrades of original data,
* it uses no cryptography, i.e. more performance, and no PKI.
At any rate, using one solution does not preclude the other one, and
two are better than one.
