-# Proposal
-
-Replace the "domain_hint" key in the input to the add-leaf endpoint with
-"rate-limit". The value associated with the "rate-limit" key is on the format:
-
- method:data
-
-where the defined methods are:
-
- - dns: the exact same semantics as today's domain hint
- - token: a shared secret that is negotiated between submitter and the log
- operator out-of-band
-
-Example of a rate-limit line using DNS:
-
- rate_limit=dns:_sigsum_v0.example.org
-
-Example of a rate-limit line using token:
-
- rate_limit=token:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-
-The "rate_limt" key must not be repeated.
-
-The "rate_limit" key may be omitted. It is then up to the log server to accept
-or reject the user's requests.
-
-# Motivation
-
-There are more ways to establish something to rate-limit on than domain hints.
-The name "domain_hint" is also not descrptive; it makes understanding harder.
-
-It is also plausible that a log operator wants to run without a rate limit in
-some environments. The above change permits this as well.
