No, some TLDs have already signed their zones. Some people are able to use DNSSEC today.

isc.org appears to be using it already, for instance.

Edit:

  $ whois isc.org | grep DNSSEC
  DNSSEC:Signed


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.


Last week: No one could use DNSSEC. No one did. No one was affected.

Today: Many people can use DNSSEC. Some actually are. Some clients are affected. (Just obviously not yours, since you remain completely uncaring about the subject.)

I don't see how it could be any clearer.


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.
