Or accept that dnssec has always been dead since it never solved a problem,
but created a lot of problems.

Just saying, facts are on my side. Check the number of times dnssec caused
an outage. Then check the number of hacks prevented by dnssec. Literally 0.

Be sure to note the time Netnod got hacked because the perps… turned off
dnssec…

Look, i dont have anything personal against dnssec. Just as much as any
droid, i love

1. 3rd rate crypto

2. Many enabled RCEs

3. Complex architectures , doubly complex operational procedure

4. Government managed CAs and then related procurement requirements

But, the thing i dont like is the massive ddos it creates. Those huge
records are really not acceptable into today’s dns environment.

Please stop enabling dnssec on your domain folks, you are going to have
outage, your security is worse off, and you feeding the vendor / hacker
ddos death spiral
