We should have started with DNSCurve and moved later to DNSSEC. The problem the engineer/developer persona is we intrinsically don't understand the value in "progress, not perfection".

It's pretty easy to say what people back in the 90s should have been working on in retrospect. The zeitgeist around privacy only really changed in the late 2000s if I recall. Shortly afterward DNSCurve appeared and since it's arguably easier to deploy than DNSSEC it's noteworthy how little impact it has had.
