"an accident waiting to happen" was from me and I also gave the rfc
for mdns, so that's hardly "nothing of substance to support that
view." If you're having trouble finding the rfc, it's here
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6762
I have a dns server, so I don't need "the ability to perform DNS-like
operations on the local link in the absence of any conventional
Unicast DNS server." Others might need that ability and so their
risk/reward answer will be different than mine.
In any case, you have a link to the rfc now and can make your own
informed decision.
