Do you want dns servers to spend extra CPU power to lookup whether this is a 
“non-functional” glue case instead of spending less CPU just looking if it has 
a glue record and adding it?

If the latter, should it do this extra work of things don’t fit to determine 
the usefulness of TC=1 for this to set it depending those circumstances or just 
set TC=1 based on size ?

Is that kindness worth spending more CPU cycles on the auth server?
