Besides, it's completely different to having a requirement that all locally connected machines should by default send all of their DNS requests to a specific address. You're talking about a situation which affects only DNS resolvers. I'm talking about something which affects all end-user nodes in the world. i.e. much messier problem on a completely different scale.
You missed my pointed. Root servers are hard coded, but they aren't using a well known anycast address.
