Why to derail? The Internet should not be seen as a monolith carved 
for eternity. This should be worked on, tested, compared and a 
possible transition or parallel usage documentation be provided. This 
is the way IETF and the Internet community has always proceeded. 
DNSSEC is like DNS, IPv6 and IDNA, who knows where they will be ten 
years from now. Maybe everywhere, maybe forgotten. Please remember 
the only architectural principle of the Internet technology (RFC 
1958): everything but that principle can change.
Cheers.
