   Rationale

   These emails were leaked on bitcointalk and Peter Todd acknowledged that they are not fake. His communication with someone about bitcoin development who claims to work for government agencies potentially violates the DNS seed policy.

   A DNS seed operating organization or person is expected to follow good host security practices, maintain control of applicable infrastructure, and not sell or transfer control of the DNS seed. Any hosting services contracted by the operator are equally expected to uphold these expectations.

   I’m closing this PR since it the author has not justified it with any technical explanation and as it is written it is just a personal attack, which violates moderation policy.

    Historically, when a DNS seed was not operating properly, an issue was opened and we waited for the operator to respond. Potential actions we can take: (0) address the problems with the DNS seed, (1) decide there is no problem, or (2) remove the DNS seed. I don’t think it’s appropriate to just jump to removal straight away.

    I suggest you open an issue (see #29911 or #33734 for examples) and wait for a response from the operator.
