That is just giving in. To what WILL end up being akin (is akin) to
taking away access. The argument that everyone is doing it so let's
just facilitate it is a bad one. This is a cave in to bad behavior
which borders on freedom of speech violation, since your
sanctioning the ability to arbitrarily redirecting (without
redirecting) content. Important part being the sanctioning of.

Turn the feature on if you like -or- make sure it is off if you don't

You don't get to tell others how to run their networks. Well... you
can tell them, but they don't have to listen to you...
He does, and (for example) you listen.
Many organizations want to do NXDOMAIN redirections on their
resolvers on their own internal networks or on guest wireless
networks or on whatever networks they control for whatever reasons
they like.
and most of them are invalid, ill and sick. This won't change,
especially since we can expect more of people do it now, when ISC
provides a way do to it.
Other resolvers have had the ability to do NXDOMAIN redirections for
many years. The pressures keeping ISPs from implementing NXDOMAIN
redirections has never been the fact that BIND didn't support it.
I hoped that ISC stays out of the world where companies will break
DNS to do something it is not designed for. Now I see it doesn't.
Bad.
