	It's really a step backwards.  The message is there to alert
	people about problems they have rather than silently work
	around the problem.  With DNSSEC finally seeing initial
	deployments, EDNS has to work.  It's time to fix the broken
	middleware.

	P.S. the same effect is already achievable without making
	edns a view/global option using server clauses.
