Change the default behavior back to using a hint zone for the root. 2. Leave the root slave zone config as a commented out example. 3. Remove the B and F root servers from the example at the request of their operators. I hope that we can now dial down the volume on the meta-issue of how the change was done, and focus on the operational issues of whether it's a good idea or not.
