He's not asking for anything. He's pointing out how a different data model allows for solving a different set of problems. The MVCC page on Wikipedia might give you a better background so that you're able to contrast the two models and determine for yourself where they are useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiversion_concurrency_contro...

For a simple registrar that supports DNSSEC I've been quite happy with https://www.gkg.net/. Their prices are reasonable and their site is quick and functional, though it's navigation is a bit clumsy. I can't comment on their hosting (including DNS) as I've not used it.

Your assessment of what constitutes "many people" and mine clearly differs.
You are quite right that my clients are unaffected. I like most of the world run a mix of Windows and OS X which like the software that runs on top of them, are not DNSSEC aware (with few exceptions).
Clearly I do care about the subject and I'm not sure why you keep stating that I do not. There is a difference between ignoring a technology until it's useful and ignoring it full-stop.
EDIT: Edited for brevity.

Regarding TLDs, you're again intimating that I have said something that I have not said.
I do not dispute that some people are able to use DNSSEC and this does not belie my original comment.

as of yesterday people can resolve domains over DNSSEC
People can resolve the root over DNSSEC. This is a milestone, but it's one to be followed by many, many more before it affects clients.

Your reading of my post as "omg it's not deployed" is an unwarranted exaggeration. I merely stated that for me, someone who maintains a from the wire-up DNS implementation, this baby-step doesn't change anything practical — which is something you've agreed with.
EDIT:
It goes without saying but I'll state it anyway, this cascade of down-votes is not the reaction I'd expect for making what I consider to be a pretty innocuous comment about something that potentially affects the priorities of my startup.

I'm going to continue ignoring DNSSEC until I see it affect clients in a meaningful way. Until then I think there is other things my users would prefer I spent my time on.

I can only assume that your vitriol stems from my lmgtfy post and so for that I apologise. My comment about the points was and is both sincere and practical advice and I hope you can revisit that post and my others in a less antagonistic light.

Mike's rebuttal buried deep in the comments is worth reading: http://delimiter.com.au/2010/07/15/how-long-can-atlassian-st...

My bad, I get excessively terse when I'm tired. I wasn't suggesting it out of utility but out of appreciation — nothing says thank you quite like a superfluous vanity domain.
EDIT: Just noticed my other post has garnered at least one down-vote so although I'm pretty sure this idea doesn't have legs, on the off-chance you dear reader are one of ~13 other folks who'd like to see this happen, drop me an email to express your interest.

I'd like to PayPal you $5 toward obtaining daily.hn ($62 + whatever the tax is on gandi.net) — anyone else?
