My reason for deploying minimal-any was not for direct reflection
attacks, because RRL already deals with direct reflection attacks.

I wanted to avoid sending truncated UDP responses to legit resolvers.

When lots of legit recursive resolvers are being attacked with ANY queries
for one of my zones, I don't want them to hammer my authoritative servers
with TCP connections. So, minimal-any means they go away happy with a
small answer, and everything stays on UDP.

Eventually I expect legit resolvers to deploy cookies, and I still want
to send them small answers to avoid TCP when an ANY attack happens.
