The 'new default' option was introduced in 2002 to signal that a default option had changed its default value, in this specific case the value for 'auth-nxdomain'. However, this default has been unchanged for 18 years now, and logging that the default has changed does not have significant value nowadays. This is also a good example that the clause flag 'new default' is broken: it is easy to get out of date. It is also easy to forget, because we have changed the default value for 'max-stale-ttl' and haven't been flagging it with 'new default' Also, if the operator cares for a specific value it should set it explicitly. Using the default is telling the software: use whatever you think is best, and this may change over time. Default value changes should be mentioned in the release note, but do not require further special treatment. |
