sadly, this same engineering economic argument applies to SAV.

Do you mean that aggressive nsec in the cheese shop (which is now my
epithet for the root, apparently) is as important as SAV?

no. only that the benefit of doing either ANC (aggressive negative caching, which warren didn't know was part of DLV at the time he named this cheese-shop proposal) or SAV is remote/external, whereas the cost and risk in each case is internal/local.

deploying ipv4 originally was a make-money proposal. if you deployed it, you could make money. so everybody did. no discussion was required. there were variations like peering that were also save-money proposals, but fundamentally, turning on ipv4 was a rationally selfish act for all.

dnssec, ipv6, sav, anc, and a lot of other follow-on technologies, are not make-money proposals, nor save-money proposals. it makes absolutely zero business sense to do any of it unless you can be a late adopter after others have (stupidly and/or selflessly) created a market for you.

i believe there's a section missing in RFC's, after IANA CONSIDERATIONS and SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS. we need to specify ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS and expose feel-good proposals as what they obviously are, so that only those with long term public good as their motive know to pay attention.
