This is in fact what one root operator says, so it goes way beyond
'suggesting'.

As bmanning said:

	double-digit percentage of priming queries that will get
	hit with this problem... I think parts of the internet
	will go dark.

So it is't the actual tone of the message that is worrying, it is also the
music itself.

Or is bill wrong? Because a root-priming query with EDNS enabled has been
returning >512 answers for a long time now. Or perhaps BIND doesn't do that?
