Slightly different principal.  A resolver can't find DNS servers until
it's told where to look.  Also, users don't want to fuss with settings
regularly.  The original issue was with new operators.  Or new servers.
So impose a probationary period on new operators.  Or new servers. Don't
list them as ready until they have a proven track record.
