[dns-wg] DNSMON changes

Although the WG's response to the NCC's proposal has been disappointing, there have been three statements of support (one with qualifications) and none against. It had been stated that silence implied consent.

Since no objections have been raised, the WG has reached a decision that has lightweight consensus. Though not a formal consensus as would be understood in the context of the PDP. Which is OK as this issue is not in PDP territory anyway. Therefore the NCC should proceed as planned and published at:

The points made by Peter and Daniel are worth further discussion and I encourage you all to do that. On one hand, there could be some benefit in providing "backwards compatibility" for visualising old data. OTOH, this may put an unreasonable burden on the NCC by creating an open-ended commitment to support legacy cruft and result in users who can't/won't migrate to the current platform. It would be good for WG members to express their opinions about this.

My personal view is somewhere inbetween: provide some way of visualising the old data if that can be done with minimal effort/resources from the NCC on a best efforts, unsupported basis. If that facility later dies, it dies and that's the end of the matter. YMMV.
