I've noticed of late less understanding of DNS in the people charged with maintaining it out there. Sad.
Sad? I don't think so, it's natural and a sign of the technology's promise. As the work load grows, the percentage of the workers who are pioneers will fall.
If a system requires "pioneer" experience and knowledge to operate correctly there is more work to be done by the pioneers.
I'm not asking them to know how to put together a Conestoga wagon and feed and maintain oxen. I'm asking them to know that when you see a stop sign you stop, and when you come to a right turn, you turn into the right-hand lane if it's safe and not "no right turn on red". Then again, they don't know that, either.
