Best practise is _not_ to use alternative roots.

Because they provide conflicting namespaces (root vs. alt_root, but also
alt_root vs. alt_root), so you need to pick which one you will be using
anyway.

But I would like to repeat again. Don't use alt_roots, they don't play well
(and never will) with unified DNS tree, and there's really no strong reason
(no reason at all from my POV) for using them.
