likewise. we should not avoid fragmentation in this particular way. that is, we can use persistent TCP, or we can avoid sending large messages by shaping their contents better (smaller signatures, less additional data).

in fact i would prefer to embrace fragmentation and fix it. so, in addition to my reasoning above, i am also biased against the goal itself. (i say this not to persuade, but for full disclosure.)

in ~1998, the IETF DNSIND WG persuaded me to remove the MD bit from EDNS0, and the reasons given then (see the archives) are all still valid today, especially given that IPv6 made fragmentation worse not better than it was in V4, and it was pretty broken in V4, the absolute value of this negative bar was rather high.
