speaking for f-root, we won't be cooperating with anything like that.
we do not edit the zone files we serve.  they come from iana, and if
you want something different served, you'll have to talk to iana.  i
cannot speak for the other rootops but i suspect that their answers
might be compatible with, if not downright similar to, f-root's.
