It would still encounter objections from ISC's style police,
Never mind that, because ISC's style differs from my own as well as
classic kernel normal form.  I frequently forget to override my
habits in favor of ISC's and so get style violation tickets.


Is it intentional that the patch does not affect authoritative ANY
responses?  I think the patch would fail to stop the authorities for
isc.org from answering `dig +dnssec isc.org any @ams.sns-pb.isc.org'
with almost 4 Kbytes.


(My first second thought was that the goto would prevent responding
with REFUSED to requests that need recurssion and so make closed
resolvers look open.  When I tested that thought and then looked closer,
I saw that the patch is in the path after a first attempt to recurse,
and so never encountered by an query that is answered authoritatively.)
