But .foo is announced from 13 IPs globally, allowing for anycast probably 40
nodes. If gtld-A has an incident it may be a good thing to dampen it from the
internet as it may not be reachable, the other 12 gtlds will be able to serve
responses in a stable manner.
Unless you're suggesting *all* the gtlds are flapping at once?
