 |Actually, it too has been a 30-year effort.  Work started around 1990.

I have here most of the RFCs, and hated 2065 (1997) and 2535
(1999) actively and from my very heart.  Earlier DNS security
documents than 2065 i do not know of.
RFC 2181 (greetings, Robert Elz) states in section 10.

  It should be noted that DNS Security is still very new, and
  there is, as yet, little experience with it.  Readers should be
  prepared for the information related to DNSSEC contained in this
  document to become outdated as the DNS Security specification
  matures.

RFC 403[345] came later, in 2005, and were a huge step, obsoleting
and updating nine RFCs each.
