Implementation requirements:

  • Data to show the SRV name isn't depended upon by a statistically significant amount of servers

Comment on lines +5 to +8
due to adverse possession. The replacement service name `matrix-fed`
became active on the same date of August 19, 2023. After an elapsed
grace-period of two years, the deprecated service name is to be stricken
from the specification.

I'd like to either see data on whether there's been enough time, or matrix-org/matrix-federation-tester#142 deployed for some time (or ideally, both).

Yes I would consider a working implementation of matrix-org/matrix-federation-tester#142 a blocker for this.

Frankly, I think it was a mistake to have merged MSC4040 without updating the federation tester.
