That is common with Cloudflare... Never understood why so many tech. praise them when clearly many of their claims are false. You would think that 99% of the internet was under a ddos attack 99% of the time.
Later pursuits used different providers where we could use BGP to shift our network around.
Which of our claims are false according to you?
Fundamentally the question is about Zones. I personally don't believe "zones" in the modern internet make sense. Modern DNS is not pure-bind/flat file. It's autogenerated labels, managed and pulled from different sources. Fundamentally, answering ANY is at least super hard if not impossible.
I'm sorry you think we were not transparent. I wrote two blog posts, and helped with the draft to promote the deprecating on ANY. But the real push to do something about ANY wasn't us - it was firefox who tried to query resolvers for ANY in order to save AAAA query for IPv6. This is totally bonkers. Proved that nobody understands ANY and that it only brings cost and confusion.

You have forced changes in the DNS standard based on your own personal value judgment, and Cloudflare was duplicitous in its support of this relative moral position. I could not have made the argument against trusting Cloudflare better, myself.
No, I made a decision that it was time to fix an obscure feature that was impossible to use correctly, and caused real damage to the internet - see firefox ANY saga.
Fun fact. We kept on supporting ANY until the RFC was ratified.

No, we worked on the standard in the working group. I'm not the one assigning RFC numbers. This is a process.
