I disagree, I don't think that transport protocols should continue to be
used as things that should be used for policy decisions.

Per my previous message, they were a suitable proxy (no pun intended)
for "this came from an unspoofable address", or "this channel can handle
large responses" but there are other ways to achieve that now that
aren't strictly transport.

For example, presence of EDNS cookies satisfies the "unspoofable
address" and therefore would permit RRL to be skipped for that client,
but "UDP with Cookies" isn't a transport.

[I appreciate that this isn't the best example because that cookie
*might* get all the way through to the backend server anyway.  But it
also might not].

We already have DNS-over-TLS, DNS-over-DTLS, and folks are working on
DNS-over-QUIC too.  None of those are true "transports", but server
operators may wish to make policy decisions based on the resulting
meta-properties of them.
