This all reads like an embarrassed engineer who can’t admit they neglected to have a comprehensive to-the-byte test suite for their second-most-important-on-the-Internet DNS server, overcompensating by blaming a 40-year-old standard that (1) they probably hadn’t consulted, and (2) no one else seems to have issues with; and proposing to update core Internet standards, rather than just accept that they made a mistake when they assumed they could just append to what any regular user of DNS expects to be a meaningfully-ordered list.
