Does anyone really believe DNScurve is ever going to become a true
standard? I think it will be too little - too late. DJB specializes in
crypto and I'm absolutely sure DNScurve is better than DNSsec (leap of
faith there), but I still think it doesn't matter.

DJB announced DNScurve around the time the design holes in DNS were
getting some press, and I got all excited that he (or is that "He"? ;-)
was about to release new code and there'd be a huge leap of interest
worldwide and DNSsec might die. However, nothing appeared and the years
rolled on - and DNSsec has government backing...

djbdns needs DNSsec support, otherwise one by one we will all be
eventually told by our employers to replace it with one that does...
