Comment:

 Hello, thanks for the feature request.

 Personally, while generally interested in ENS, its potential and the
 underlying protocol, I find the undocumented backdoor that is detailed
 here extremely troubling:
 https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dnsop/E0dKXu1yQJ2npRmxq2R64i9yuUo
 and pretty much a strong blocker for any integration.

 Particularly the fact that this backdo^Wfeature is undocumented is the
 worst part of it, since I really don't know how it works or what strenghts
 it gives to the adversary.

 If this is actually documented somewhere, I'd appreciate links and
 resources to that effect.
