Beside the obvious design flaws in dnssec and in the long run they only 
solve a part of the problem how can you even consider removing the 
ability for disabling dnssec when implementing and deploying and running 
dnssec increases the complexity times hundred and people and isp's alike 
cant even implement and properly run a simple dns server as it is now?
