> The old cached DNS entries in DNS resolvers simply expire, in an arbitrary order.

I really wish that was so. There's lots of weird resolvers out there used by weird ISPs that don't properly respect the TTL value. Setting TTL to some really low number a full day before making a major change is no guarantee that your zone will expire in a bunch of places. All kinds of weird ISPs try to do things with the dns results they present to their customers.

It’s still arbitrary, with no geographical (or other) form of propagation.
