Not to mention that when you take tools -away- from people that solve
an existing problem, you'll get a lot of pushback.
I, personally, have been waiting to hear what happens when network techs
discover that they can't carry IP addresses around in their heads anymore.
That sounds trivial, perhaps, but I don't think it will be.
Absolutely, it's certainly one thing I'm dreading. I know, DNS is
awesome, but DNS also breaks (SysAdmin mantra: "It's a DNS problem",
because if something is behaving in an unusual fashion, it's usually DNS
that's at fault). I guess I'll routinely be storing a copy of the zone
file in my DropBox or something as a precaution so I can access it from
my phone.
