I have a small favor to ask.

Could you try to "sell" the guidance from the hypothetical perspective of
it not having been part of the draft?
I.e. if it was not already in the draft, and you were proposing the
fallback (after successful AliasMode response), is there a short pitch that
makes it compelling?

Consider also that there are roughly 3 million resolvers (with vastly
varying client bases), hundreds of millions of zones, and billions of
clients. The cross product is probably sparse, but definitely not super
sparse.
There is no sharing of information between clients, and they are all
implementing the logic from local knowledge only, correct?
How does this scale if a large proportion of fallback lookups don't/can't
result in success if the primary lookup fails?
On the client, on the resolver, on the authority server, on the apex web
server (at the fallback address), on the CDN?

Thanks,
Brian
