There are three messages in the namedroppers archive about this. One post

Until the post, no one brought this to the WG's attention.
(As an aside: I keep tabs on DNS, not SMTP. If there's an issue in
SMTP and no one brings it in front of the DNS lists, I'm not going to
see the issue much less bring it to the DNS lists.)
But the draft really isn't about DNS. It's about SMTP.
The question of NULL MX came up last year during a discussion about SMTP.
The SMTP question is about how to locate the target host. As the proposal
in the expired I-D has an operational impact on DNS operations, the SMTP
folks will probably ask for the opinion of DNSOP.
My opinion is that "it doesn't matter to DNS protocol and
operations." No more so than, e.g., what ENUM does with the contents
of NAPTR records has as an impact on the DNS. (My opinion is not
indicative of a consensus of the working group.)
