Next time, all the caching provisions of RFC 1034 and 1035 will be
called "speed hacks". After all, the DNS would work as well without
caches.

"NXDOMAIN cut" is not purely an internal optimization because it
changes the observable behavior of a resolver. It therefore has an
effect on other servers. It reveals brokenness in other servers (the
one who reply NXDOMAIN for an ENT). It is not just a matter for the
implementer.
