Yeah, around 1% of resolvers seriously disregarding TTLs is what Ive seen. But if thats the argument theres absolutely no difference in cache lifetime of a single A backed by an ALIAS resolution and the typical A + CNAME. In either case all of the records should be cached for the broken resolvers lifetime. To counter that you do dns cache busting with prepended GUID labels or the like. Which totally breaks caching anyways.
