To make this explicit: maintaining accurate DNS configuration is extremely important to enterprise security and availability.

Allowing outdated DNS entries to persist can open up all sorts of horrible opportunities for impersonation, phishing, etc.

At the same time, removing a DNS entry that you still need can cause massive downtime.

So anything that makes it easier for ops teams to observe and maintain DNS (in whatever ugly way available) is probably a security win in the long run.
