yes. or i wouldn't have worked on RPZ. the DNS resolution path is a huge
component of internet autonomy, and it is under powerful attack by both
corporations and governments around the world, for censorship,
surveillance, and commerce purposes. to regain control of their own
internet experience and to protect their privacy against upstream
wiretapping, many enterprises of all sizes and many "power users" are
going to move back to a private resolver model. we should do nothing in
this WG that makes that movement less attractive, such as creating a DNS
cache purge model that requires registration, subscription, or a
clearinghouse.
