Comment(by mikeperry):

 Blech. Unfortunately, the most likely way we'll end up supporting DNSSEC
 will allow this timing signature to be re-introduced if the user wants end
 to end authentication for DNS resolutions..

 We'll need to make sure there are no ways the DNS server can tell the
 client "try again soon, please".. I guess I should be noting this on any
 tickets/proposals about DNSSEC, but those have not materialized yet.
