I am talking BGP where the world would try to use you for everything.
Everything came to a halt several times due to misconfigured routers.

Um, how about a router with a _list_ of all IP's?

Remember back in the early days (OK some of you were probably too young)
when you truly could advertise your router as being able to route all IPs?

Probably the idea is they offer large scale geographic diversity, and DDoS
attack mitigation.
But it shakes your confidence when one person can type one wrong line into
the config of one router and screw up the whole supposedly resilient
network.

The idea seems to be that you are outsourcing your redundancy to a

A quick read of some of the discussion lists indicates that you can’t
run Cloudflare DNS and something else for redundancy. I don’t
understand the technical issues, but apparently that’s not how it
works. There’s also supposedly the issue that Cloudflare is doing
attack mitigation, and if you disclose the IP addresses of your other
DNS servers, they will get attacked and won’t be able to survive a
terabit flood of traffic.
Which is completely opposite of the historical best practice of using
at least two unrelated DNS providers so all of your nameservers don't
share the same fate when a provider has an outage.
