if you read the post-mortem they did everything by the book

they made a small mistake, and .nz was down for 2 days as a result

of course the 95% of people that have competent ISPs that don't verify DNSSEC records were completely unaffected

there's a reason ALL major tech companies refuse to deploy it for their zones

so it was not a small mistake

yes, the same thing happens when people start using technology that actually verifies what it reads/writes. ie. btrfs, ZFS, ECC, etc. and turns out disks fail, bits rots, etc. it was just unnoticed.

Most, not all. Salesforce is a notable counterexample.
