As this pertains to a section that will apparently be removed for
publication, only posting it here on dnsop@ for historical reasons:


So, RFC7942 (the one about "The Implementation Status" section) says that this section should contain a note asking for it to be removed (and even includes boilerplate to copy and paste) -- this document instead says "The
following table contains the status of support in the open-source DNS
signers and validators in the current released versions as of the time
writing this document." which implies it will be left in the document. I personally think that this is good / helpful, but am not sure how the rest
of the IESG will feel about this...

I always found the removal a very unhelpful idea. A different draft comes to mind where the implementation section mentioned the ways in which almost every implementation, consistently, deviated from the draft, which would be very useful information to future implementors!

I indeed also noticed that this draft lacked that note, but Paul Wouters replied this via Twitter:

letoams: @oerdnj @Habbie ohh. well that whole section will be cut anyway before RFC :) If we do another rev based on IETF LC, I will update it <https://twitter.com/letoams/status/1101136424361955329>

As of 28-Feb-2019 14:02 I see pdns-4.2.0-beta1 available for download, so I
think that doing what Peter requests is fine.

So, my plan is to 1: ask the authors to please swap the Y to an N as below and 2: progress the document with the hope that this section will survive
the publication process.

The March telechats are often really full - ADs who are leaving the IESG try and get old / stuck work finished and off their plate - and so this would likely only show up on the 2019-04-11 telechat -- so if anyone really
objects to this being (attempted to be) left in, please shout.

If it turns out the section is going to be removed before publication, then of course, don’t bother with the change. If the section will survive, and it is felt that this small change will hold up publication, then please also do not bother.

Otherwise, if it turns out we can easily get this change in, please do.

Kind regards,
