Since we are getting into pronouns, let's clarify what the roles are.
At least these are what I think we are talking about.
Zone admin = the registrant of the domain owning the NS set.
You ("I" above) = the dude that has the root password to a machine
that is mentioned in the NS set.
(As opposed to zone admin being the registry that the data is going in to.)
It is the prerogative of you to do what it takes to get your machine
to function correctly. It's the prerogative of the zone admin to
include (or not) your machine in the NS set.
A zone admin ought to be aware of what the state of the slave servers
are. (That's my main point.) There are minor tweaks, like IP
addresses, and then there are major tweaks, like letting the domain
lapse. A responsible zone admin would be up to date on what the
slave server admins are up to. So, in this case, when the slave
server changes IP addresses, this goes to the zone admin, who would
then have to update the IP addresses registered.
Now being that I work for a TLD, I should say that I'm not
enthusiastic about collecting these IP addresses. I like it as it
is, collect only what needed for the glue. I mean, no one has said
yet what the purpose of collecting the addresses for non-glue
machines would be used for - certainly not to be put into DNS.
Reporting such IP addresses is more work, it's unclear what they are
used for, but if there's a benefit...
Historically, we did worry. We also worried about changes in
topology.
There's nothing stopping you from worrying more and more.
