For the sake of the root servers, I hope everyone doesn't start doing

Well configured laptops will not put that much pressure on the roots.
A single misconfigured / broken recursive name server puts a lot more
pressure on the roots than lots of well-configured laptops.
I guess one could argue that the chance of misconfiguration go up as
the number of systems goes up.
