@endoffile78 while we could do this now, IMO as long as the DHT has special support for provider records and IPFS defaults are still there (e.g. the constructor doesn't mandate passing in a ProtocolPrefix, and IPNS records are supported by default) this is just a breaking change that doesn't really do much and ends up adding more confusion.

Perhaps if we just broke the constructor that would be sufficient and we could leave the special provider record support in, but AFAIK the major users of this DHT implementation other than go-ipfs do not use provider records (and many just use it for peer routing and ignore records entirely).
