The IETF should not be encouraging experiments on the public

the claim that this experiment could be harmful to the

violation of a fairly explicit (and very important, IMO)
provision of SMTP.  As far as I can tell from reviewing the
discussions, there has not even been effort to refute those
claims or explain why they are not relevant.

Has anyone laid out the perceived dangers in an easily digestible format? I would be interested to see that discussion.

Given that the DNS RR in question is something the end user has to explicitly request, the danger is not immediately obvious to me.
