Would we have DNSCurve without DNSSEC, will DNSSEC actually ever get fixed having got it out sooner to do so or would it have died and not been replaced. Would we have DNSSEC with ECC already, solving a large chunk of the issues. Perhaps pertinent questions for Linux init?
Yes!, why not bring up yet another nonsensical slightly related example....
Okay ;-), ipv6 with the promise of ipsec everywhere and lots of other things causing huge headaches, programming problems and security problems that now exist in devices across the planet rather than simply adding more ips and calling it ipv5 as suggested by OpenBSDs project leader. Note gentoo hardened have only just enabled ipv6 by default due to servers with ipv6 only remote access installs. I admit, I almost deleted it, not because of your opinion of nonsense but because of potentially opening a can of worms that I have no intention of responding to. DJB may state some points have a slightly wider affect than they actually do, but they are certainly valid and many of them always ignored in review of it.
