Is there a requirement that Dr. Bernstein must personally do the dancing?
Let someone else write the RFC, if it needs writing.

While the existence of an RFC isn't an absolute requirement for BIND to
implement something, it certainly helps.  But what helps a lot more is
evidence that the thing in question is getting widespread use, or that
there's significant user demand for it.  So far, we're not seeing either
of those things with DNSCurve.  When we do, I'll be happy to write the
code.
