Browser vendors (notably Chromium) have already acknowledged that the best they'll be able to do is treat DANE like another CA, which leaves open the question of why they'd bother supporting a TLS extension that doesn't improve the status quo. It's not going to happen.

The "decentralized namespaces" stuff is interesting, because, of course, it gives away that game that a substantial amount of DNSSEC/DANE advocacy is coming from people speculating on a premined crypto-token that purports to replace the DNS, linking to it (after a fashion) with DANE. Also not going to happen (but if it does, I'm going to pre-mine an ARP coin, so I win either way).
