I doubt it. The root cause of this was a root server misconfiguration or bug. It happened to DNSSEC records this time, which is a pain, but next time it might as well flip bits or point to wrong IP addresses instead.

Paradoxically, resolvers wouldn't have noticed the misconfiguration if it weren't for DNSSEC.
