I'm confused on one point: why would the user ever want to turn off
DNSSEC validation (except to get past a for captive portal)? It sounds
like you have no shortage of safeguards in place to make sure this
always works: for it to break the user would have to be on a network
that doesn't support DNSSEC, that blocks VPN, with the Fedora
infrastructure down, right? I think it's OK to fail connections in that
case (provided we have a story for captive portals).

What we basically do not want is to give the user an option for turning
a security feature off.
