I've been assured by ISC folks that we'll always serve AXFR on F, but I
don't know if that commitment is in writing, nor whether the other roots
that currently support it have made any promises to keep doing so.
IMHO it would be nice if all 13 letters provided AXFR service, but at a
minimum we it's important for *some* of them to do so.
while i agree with you (and i'm the one who set F's policy, back in the
day), it's important to recognize achievements and advances where they
have occurred. ICANN has "put something in writing" as you say:
https://www.dns.icann.org/services/axfr/
while RFC 7706 is terrible engineering and the IETF should be ashamed of
publishing it, i think the least we can do is acknowledge that ICANN
operates (and promises to continue operating) AXFR servers for the root
zone. see again URL above. there is no need to make production AXFR
queries for the root zone from "real" root servers any more.
