While different, I think that the introduction of the more advanced
IPv6 address formats into DNS also qualifies. I don't recall off hand
if bit-string labels (which were used for reverse lookups) or the A6
RRtype (for forward lookups) was the more problematic one, but I do
recall that both had issues that made real-world adoption non-trivial
in the best of cases.
