So ... these are non-canonical.  Doesn't particularly matter to me if
they're kept or dropped, but each such action ends up involving a fair
bit 'o work on my end.  So ... don't be willy-nilly doing drops/adds.
If I drop 'em from "my" infrastructure (and DNS slaves, etc.) - a fair
bit 'o work, I may not be willing to readd them (which would be yet
again a fair bit 'o work).  And when would I drop 'em from "my"
infrastructure?  Anytime after registrar DNS delegation is no longer
functioning - at that point the domains become non-functional and much
more of a liability and pain than anything else.
