Comment (by desrosj):

 Thanks for the update @fabricecanel.

 For me, I still have a few concerns.

 One blocker for inclusion, in my opinion, is not the security,
 flexibility, or the ability to rotate the API key (those are all important
 and still factors in the equation). It's the fact that the user or site
 owner needs to be concerned with the API key at all. If it can work
 without a site owner needing to know what IndexNow is, I would be open to
 discussing further.

 Based on the photos of your slides you linked on Twitter/X, it appears
 that most of the major WordPress SEO plugins have already adopted this. In
 my testing, it actually works quite nicely. I'm not sure how the
 underlying code works yet, but it does seem like it's implemented in a
 "set and forget" way.

 Second item is that I'd still like to see if Google will implement
 IndexNow or not. While they're not the only search engine, my
 understanding is that they are still 80-90%+ of the market share depending
 on which data set you use. If they choose not to implement, then there I'm
 a bit concerned about the long term stability of this initiative.
