I believe that the core problem is usability. If we can convince router providers that we have solved the usability issues, we are much more likely to expect stuff we produce to be used and that is going to make it much easier to get them to implement. Every step we ask of consumers reduces the number of likely users by at least 50% and some say 90%. Turning configurations into QR codes might seem trivial and unnecessary to DNSOPS folk but it is really important when it comes to making things 'just work'. One option we might look at is companies like Ubiquiti which have been producing gear that rise above the 1990s tech most in that market seem to consider acceptable. But that is not my immediate concern. Let's start off with the problem of how to get a public DNS provider onboard. What if there was a way that Alice could package up an Ed25519 or Ed448 key into a URI and that was the only thing she needed to pass to her DNS authoritative server for them to set up the zone so her applications can push the updates out to it?
