Indeed, the reality is that most DNS hosts and their help desks are probably completely unaware of the child-sticky issue, and assume incorrectly that only the parent and the new child need to hold the new NS set. Heck, I didn't even know that myself until Olafur described the issue a few years ago, even though I had previously spent over a decade running system operations and help desk for an ISP. That said, I always took the view that you should cooperate as much as possible when a customer is leaving - a good experience there can help get the customer back if the new guys foul up.
