What makes you say that, except that Transarc doesn't use it?  (They
just wrote the spec.)

Why use SRV instead of AFSDB?  I don't see how either priority or
weight makes any sense when pointing out database servers.

Only superficially, they seemed to be more interested in discussing if
realms are case-sensitive or 8bit clean, topics which I cannot find of
any interest at all.  And that's just very theoretical, I think we
should just document what's being done (implementations of Kerberos
from Cambridge, Redmond, and Stockholm already have support for SRV
RR.) and clear-up the underscore confusion.
