In this particular case we truncate EDNS to protect the privacy of users because we believe 1) privacy is a fundamental human right; and 2) the original sin of the Internet is that IP addresses are too closely tied to the identities of individuals and services. Truncating EDNS is trying to honor #1 and overcome #2. So is our work on protocols like Oblivious DNS. This work, frankly, upsets some of our customers or potential customers (like Archive.is). But it’s the right thing to do for the long term health of the Internet.
