Actually, it's most fortunate :-) - "a broken DNS server" can always happen,
and client OSes that handle this gracefully lead to happy eyeballs and less
frustration.

Of course it is silly to announce a known-broken v6 address for DNS, but
even with everything done correctly, outages *do* happen - and the whole
point of having more than one recursor available is "make good use of the
list", not "make your users suffer".
