But hopefully in this scenario you're paying attention to log messages,
and would have seen the "obsolete option" warning.

The question is, should your nameserver complain and keep running, or
should it reufse to run? And for "max-acache-size", enh, I'd probably
be okay with it.

But a standard policy that covers all deprecated options would need
to be stricter than "enh".
