DNSEXT chair Olafur Gudmundsson, who has been paid for BIND work, writes: > only you objecting to the document There have been public objections from Aaron Swartz, Felix von Leitner, Len Budney, Kenji Rikitake, Dean Anderson, Sam Trenholme (MaraDNS implementor), and of course me (djbdns implementor)---plus an unknown number of people whose messages to namedroppers have been silently discarded by Randy Bush. Meanwhile, axfr-clarify is being pushed primarily by people with financial interests in BIND. The Yokohama minutes say ``too bind specific'' with no hint of any dispute about that, and the Atlanta minutes don't indicate any further discussion. What's most damning, of course, is the simple fact that the objections are being ignored. http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/axfr-clarify.html explains in detail what's wrong with the BIND company's arguments; the BIND company responds by repeating the arguments and ignoring the objections. ---D.
