People who are actually correct on the basis of significant experience don't tend to feel it necessary to remind others at every possible occasion (unless not doing so would lead to significant harm to others).

They're usually busy doing other things.

Ding ding ding.

At any rate: it's very funny that DNSSEC took 1.1.1.1 down, but this bug can't honestly be pinned on DNSSEC itself.


In a way they're lucky DNSSEC took it down, otherwise they may have not noticed the issue of using stale data for much longer.


They have expired the data correctly, which uncovered a bug in fetching of a new DNSSEC record.

If the DNSSEC didn't add new unnecessary complexity to an otherwise working system, there would be no bug, and no stale data.


"Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."

but yea, repeatedly running into a wall of ignorance encourages shifting to "busy doing other things"
