I'm not so sure defaulting to this is the desired behaviour. After all, the
default behaviour for the last 10 years has been the opposite, and I don't
recall anyone complaining until now. Changing the default would also break
backward compatibility in a big way. For example, what happens on all those
systems running a local caching nameserver on 127.0.0.1?
