After the discussion a few days ago about the stunt Verisign has pulled recently, and most people expressing outrage over it, I wonder how many network operators/ISP's etc are actually willing to go as far as running the patches that are surfacing for the various nameserver software that will return NXDOMAIN when a root server tries to return an A record directly instead of a referal ?
