Hi. Speaking from Quad9’s board, rather than the operations side, resources are
scarce and demand is enormous. We put in negative trust anchors where safe and
necessary to keep things working for actual users, because if we don’t, we get
drowned by support calls. And, like any donation-funded open project, donors
are expecting us to use the resources they’ve given us to protect people, not
to subsidize other people’s science projects. Your experiment is not
distributing malware through .GOV or .MIL, therefore you have no reasonable
expectation that we, our donors, and our users should absorb the externalized
costs of your experiment.
There, your experiment was a success: you learned something, just not what you
were expecting to learn.
But please think twice before putting an experiment in a production domain.
This is exactly the sort of reason people normally register independent domains
for beacons.
