> which is just ad hominem

I dont really think it is. The original person claimed that the reason dnssec was unpopular was due to FUD. I think in that context its a fair question to ask what experts think.

For it to be an ad hominem, the person has to claim that the argument is wrong because of who they are. But that is not the claim here. The claim is that their argument that dnssec hate is unjustified FUD is wrong because experts (who presumably by virtue of being experts) are not susciptible to FUD, also do not think dnssec is a good idea. Thus it is directly attacking the argument and not the person, and hence not an ad hominem.
