Oh and of course if EDNS0 doesn't work, the resolver can still fall back
to using TCP connections for DNS.

So not having a working EDNS0 doesn't mean necessarily that your
Internet will stop when DNSSEC is enabled, it may go slower and you
won't be able to take advantage of DNSSEC, but it may still work.

EDNS0 and/or TCP have been needed to reliably email some of the big
email players for a long while. So I'd be surprised if big DNS queries
of themselves cause too many people problems.

One of the metrics they use to assess the impact of DNSSEC is the number
of additional TCP queries seen at the relevant authoritative servers (in
this case the root). They did see an increase in testing, which suggests
EDNS0 is not universal yet.

I see quite a lot of EDNS0 not working messages at work, so plenty of
folks still need to deploy DNS with 1999 technology in 2010.
