Is it coming? I notice that OpenSSL now has support for raw public keys.
The spec (RFC 7250, "Using Raw Public Keys in Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS)") suggests DANE/DNSSEC as a mechanism to bind identities to public keys (section 6).

I really wish that we would have the option to get rid of CAs and just use DNSSEC as the root of the chain of trust.

Will this really be simpler?
It is not coming. Browsers are unlikely to support DANE (Chrome briefly did, and then pulled support, IIRC).
Simpler and faster I hope.
In fact, the slowness and complexity of DANE is a big part of why it got pulled.
