These two will never change until something breaks in response to them.
The only reasons to defer with respect to these issues that I can think of are:

(1) DNSSEC might never happen and Fedora could just skip the feature
(2) Deferring could allow coordinated adoption with other operating
systems; which would make the problem more clearly a nat/firewall
issue rather than a Fedora issue.

Neither of these are realistic, so I don't think those problems should
be considered blocking.
