The main reason I thought it would be a good idea to include sibling
address records in ANAME responses was so that we could get a one-shot
address query as a side-effect. But I think we keep learning that it is a
bad idea to load too much stuff onto ANAME, so I think it's a reasonable
trade-off to ditch the addr query feature so that loop detection is
easier.
