Before DPRIV: anyone who owns the DNS box at an ISP can see all
dns-queries go through, and know who made them.

After: exactly the same.

Why? Because we were lazy, and solved the easy problems instead of the
worthwhile problems.

So we shouldn't solve the problem we want to solve, because solving
the problem we want to solve is hard, so we should solve the problem
we can solve and fool ourselves into saying we wanted to solve it, and

terrible idea.
