Because it can be detrimental to existing sites if configured wrongly,
its something not all sites would need, greater than 50% of resolvers
are caching, not authoritative, therefore currently it's an "extra"
option, it's also "new", in 5 years time maybe it will be a default, but
to do so now would be wrong.
