What caused all this fuss is that they did not turn it on by default, but they publicly said they "would like" to do it in the future, here (at the end, "what is the status"): https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/05/a-cartoon-intro-to-dns-over-https/ and also here, more or less at half the text, they say "Firefox does not *yet* use DoH by default" (asterisks are mine): https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/2018/06/01/improving-dns-privacy-in-firefox/ Mozilla also had several calls with concerned parties in which they were asked to clarify, and they confirmed that while they are considering all the feedback, this is still in their plans for the future. So we are not all having hallucinations here :-) and even if Mozilla decided to announce that their plans are changed and that idea is now off the table, which has not happened yet, now everyone is aware that this could be done by any application at any time in the future; so, speaking from a policy perspective, it would be nice to agree (if possible) that that is a bad idea, at least if certain conditions are not met, and record that consensus somewhere. It would not prevent anyone from doing something else if they want, but that's true of any standard; but it would at least provide some guidance for well behaved application makers.
