I was trying to be kind. Yes. It was a hack that solved a problem for a
particular pair of CDN and anycast resolver but tends to be a bad idea
for much of the world. But it's there and does sometimes improve CDN
performance. I seem to recall that quad9 has (or will shortly) different
IPs so you can choose if you want to have ECS in your queries or not.

Indeed. The vast majority of the world doesn't even know DNS exists,
much less wants to dive into all sorts of obscure settings. They want to
go to the local big-box electronics store and buy a "solution". And the
Turris box is a great solution but way more than most consumers will
spend. I have hopes the new Turris modular approach will mean a lower
price point so we have more of these and less cheap/crappy CPEs on the
internet.

In the pipe dream category, it would be great to think that as IoT
becomes unavoidable, we'll get more boxes that do auto-update. But I'm
not holding my breath...
