It is not in similar territory as IPv6. We live in a mixed IPv4/IPv6 world (with translation). IPv6 usage is steadily and markedly increasing. Without asking to be, I'm IPv6 (on ATT Fiber) right now. DNSSEC usage has actually declined in North America in the preceding 18 months, and its adoption is microscopic to begin with.
IPv6 is going to happen (albeit over a longer time horizon than its advocates hoped). DNSSEC has failed.
This is the customary comment by me that this is far from the prevailing view. From my viewpoint, DNSSEC is steadily increasing, both in demand and in amount of domains signed.
As I usually have to point out to you, registrars can’t add DNSSEC to domains. Only DNS server operators can do that. They often have to have the cooperation of the registrar to do it, but not always; sometimes, if the registry supports CDS/CDNSKEY records, the DNS server operator can add DNSSEC all by themselves. And why would DNS server operators add DNSSEC to their domains, unless the domain owners wanted them to?
Meanwhile: the graphs I posted in the preceding comment are pretty striking. If you haven't clicked through yet, you should. I've pointed out previous, minor drops in DNSSEC deployment in the US. The current one is not minor.
If you can’t get the technical details right, maybe you should hold your piece; this is a technical discussion. I also think you posted the wrong link.
> The current one is not minor.
Maybe not, but I do not know the cause, and you have not proposed one either. Do you have a theory about what happened in late 2023? We’ll have to see if this trend continues; the graphs you linked do show a slight upward turn right at the end of the graphs.
