[dns-operations] which breakage is this? FreeBSD.org / systemd-resolved

[Mark Andrews]

Because for DNSSEC to actually work though a forwarder you need to send both CD=0 and CD=1 queries. 

Always send CD=1 is broken. I said it at the time.   This is noted in the write up on the draft.  The working group chairs failed in letting this go through. Logic showing the decision was broken should have trumped misguided wishes to not have intermediate resolvers perform validation.   It was never to late to revisit a wrong decision.

DNS64 also requires the validator to discover the DNS64 parameter for which there isn’t a reliable well developer solution. And after discovering them enabling there own DNS64 algorithm. I blame the IESG for letting this past.  

This result was predicted when DNS64 was a I-D.
