while WKS, HINFO and some others aren't obviously widely used, based on
what assumption or what community(?) consensus would BIND warn about
their appearance and/or declare them "obsolete"?  Shouldn't TXT deserve a
warning, too?  As long as these RR types are listed in the IANA registry and
haven't been officially deprecated (like MD and MF), they should be supported.
A remark in the documentation, clearly marked as vendor advice, would be a
different story.
