THanks very much.
commit bb990030d344dafe40a62fe5ed2741de28b8ca66 removed the probing heuristics.

BIND 9.17.6 and later 

5516.   [func]      The default EDNS buffer size has been changed from 4096
                    to 1232 bytes, the EDNS buffer size probing has been
                    removed, and named now sets the DF (Don't Fragment) flag
                    on outgoing UDP packets. [GL #2183]

Then, do you agree the following requirements ? (as DNS software developpers)

1. SHOULD set DF bit on outgoing UDP packets on IPv4,
   and SHOULD not use FRAGMENT header on IPv6.

2. limit DNS payload size 1232 without path MTU discovery.
   (After DNSFlagDay2020, many implementations use 1232)

3. If path MTU discovery works, UDP responders can send larger (>1232)
   responses fit in the path MTU.

4. TCP implementations SHOULD set DF bit / not use FRAGMENT header.
   (many TCP implementations already set DF bit)

# If there is a link whose MTU is smaller than 1260 (on IPv4),
# the link may be a blackhole.
