I think the one big drawback for me is the loss visibility and control for the 
root operators. As an example, DITL, what value will that have if only subset 
of queries make it to root servers? Will DNS-OARC have to collect logs from all 
these loopback authoritative slave recursive?  
-1 for adoption.
