1. If you have some DNS working, you can point it at a static “we are down and we know it” page much sooner.

2. If you have convinced the entire world to install tracking pixels on their web pages that all need your IP address, it is rude to the rest of the world’s DNS to not be able to always provide a prompt (and cacheable) response.

Not saying I think being rude is cool, but there is a reason we are here, now, today.
