ask yourself how many DNS admins are going to go pull out
the "-delegation" stanzas from their configs? Or that
will use them to lie about other delegations that use wildcards
as long as that code is still available? ...
someone should write up a FAQ now, describing how to troubleshoot
DNS anomolies that will arise as a result of this code being in
the wild. IMHO, its going to be a -long- time before this "feature"
is eradicated from the deployed base. :(
