I agree, and yet, a DDoS can make your data unavailable for refresh
through no fault of yours, which makes a resolver operator appear to be
broken through no fault of theirs, which makes them want very much to
be able to do this bad thing.

So, TTL stretching goes on the pile with NXDOMAIN redirection, tools that
can be used for censorship, and all the other regrettable things that we
implemented anyway dammit.

(I do like the idea of advertising a separate expiry value though.)
