By the way: Fuck DNS security. It's horrendous that one grumpy sysadmin can decide that they want to keep moving the goalpost and simultaneously give away control of your name and also deny it to you on arbitrary terms. I've been critical of DNS safety for years, and concerns around it are part of why we did not pursue a web wallet at MM years earlier (though we had working prototypes). Not your smart contract, not your terms?

DNS is a good decentralized system, but it isn't "strong form decentralized" in the same way that Ethereum is. 

One of the reasons we built identity on Ethereum instead of the web.

I used to also think this, but my view evolved this year as I watched it play out on Bluesky.

Allowing DNS for names can act as a good trust signal for some domains. eg. seeing @sanders.senate.gov I know that it is Bernie because of how the .gov domain is managed. Also for a brand, they can just use their domain name.

i think its generally quite good for the median case, but problematic in the limit case (like Dan Finlays)
