If your site depends on a DNS extension that's only 3.5 years old (and designed to be optional), I think it's fair to say your site is just offline for some users due to a config mistake.

You're free to set up your servers however you like, but there's wisdom in Postel's law.

Archive.is does not block all requests lacking EDNS. They specifically block requests coming from Cloudflare's datacenters. Cloudflare is not accidentally misconfiguring their EDNS, Cloudflare is intentionally not sending EDNS.

The "misconfiguration" he's talking about is on archive.is' part. Their configuration expects some specific server to have an optional functionality enabled, which it doesn't.

Sorry, I don't understand. I was referring to this quote:

Archive.is is not making an accidental mistake. Archive.is is behaving very intentionally. They've said so on Twitter. And I believe profmonocle agrees with me on that point.
