To be pedantic, it doesn't work for optout ranges. I don't actually know
offhand of any zones that mix optout and non-optout, though, so it's a
fairly pointless quibble.

Random prefix DoS attacks are prevalent enough nowadays to make
this seem like a rather significant exception.

The downsides should be manageable. We can implement ANC so that it's
separately enabled or disabled for different namespaces, and put a TTL
cap on NSEC/NSEC3 records in zones that have ANC enabled.

I agree with the suggestion upthread that we address the general case
instead of the root-only solution.
