community who care about protocol development, are probably on both lists.

to be clear, response rate limiting will still be necessary even with
dns cookies in place.

without dns cookies, the requests don't have to have correct source-ip
addresses, and thus, a dns server can be made to attack the apparent
source of those queries. rrl helps with this.

with dns cookies, the requests have to have correct source-ip addresses,
and thus, a dns server can be made to attack its own upstream
infrastructure. rrl helps with this, also.

there should of course be more strict rate limits in place for the
former, than for the latter.
