Disagree for two reasons:

1. If you have some DNS working, you can point it at a static “we are down
and we know it” page much sooner.

2. If you have convinced the entire world to install tracking pixels on
their web pages that all need your IP address, it is rude to the rest of
the world’s DNS to not be able to always provide a prompt (and cacheable)
response.
