Should be upstreamed to unbound and looped back, I think.

That's right, I think so, but contact me upstream.　:-)

These changes have already been committed upstream. We're just not tracking them very closely.

I am not sure they warrant an EN to get them into the current releases.

Let me explain, this list is only used once, when starting the daemon, during the priming phase, to get a list that may be more current.  Once that is done, the list is no longer used.

I would start worrying about it not being current if 2/3rd of the addresses were wrong. Especially as with DNSSEC, it is not possible to get a corrupted version of the root zone name-servers list.

So, is this difference unnecessary at this stage?
Comment 6 Dag-Erling Smørgrav freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-10-18 15:04:45 UTC 
It's really not a big deal.  It's just one address out of two dozen.  It will be updated with the next vendor import.
