The basic premise on the Denic list was that end-users should roll out their ENUM zones instead of using wildcards (especially as the new wildcard behavior as defined by RFC4592 can lead to unexpected result due to "empty non-terminals").
just to avoid misunderstandings: the article on our enum list was about pitfalls with wildcards that co-exist with 'many' real entries that then limit the coverage of the wildcard. A conclusion, not necessarily a recommendationw as, that for a namespace with the given properties, wildcards are a not too well suited substitute for real provisioning. The 'Infrastructure ENUM' case can be different when you do not have a priori knowledge of the namespace's full structure. And, finally, RFC 4592 did not change the ENT specification. -Peter
