As to NS fastflux, I think you are right. But it may also be an issue of policy. Is there a reason today to allow any domain to change NSs constantly?
well, so it's not explicitly denied in the current operations policy things, so people may depend on it for some reason(s). They might have turned on a service that depends on it, something not related to email or web or other things. DNS is basic internet plumbing, messing with it without LOTS of study is bound to bring out wierd uses. Especially where there is no prohibition on this today, making an arbitrary limit tomorrow is going to cause problems.
Quite. And yet watching for such changes at the registrar level may be interesting. A couple of years ago some DNS experts disagreed. I'll try and raise this idea again and if it holds water, see if some of the registrars are game (which in itself hints to another problem). As an old boss of mine used to say: "In Hebrew we say, 'one cow, one cow'". (One cow at a time ... )
