That is really a separate issue. This discussion is about limiting the
damage caused by domains which do rapid NS switching. If we know which
domains are new, DNS operators could put them on probation and only
allow a minimum TTL of 1 day on those names.

All that this means is that domains will be registered and sit idle (or host a web server for domain parking, useless content to make it look legitimate, etc.) until the probation period is up. Then it be converted into a rapid NS switching domain used for whatever...

The domain owner can still
switch NSes but the queries won't chase him, therefore he will sell less
product and quickly stop doing NS switching. If he's not NS switching
then it is easier to track him down, blackhole him, filter him,
whatever.
