in my opinion, no. carrier pigeon, /dev/random, hostile nation-state actor,  
none of that matters. if it's dnssec-authentic using the icann key, then  
the publication of such data is in-bounds and not-rogue. source, including  
intermediaries, no longer matters. that's the underlying meaning of dnssec.
