It doesn't help at all. Critical mass leads to wide-spread adoption and 
a morphological change in protocols resulting in de-facto standards that 
can't simply be dismissed by committee or so-called governing bodies.

There really is no point in exclaiming that there's a better solution 
when all that exists is a sandbox.

On the other hand, I have no doubt that DNSCurve would completely 
supplant DNSSEC were it to actually exist as an operational reality.

But alas, time is running out.......
