So TLD's should no longer answer DNS requests from any Registrant?
Yes that is a CHANNEL OF COMMUNICATION.

Providing a relay agent is no different to providing a nameserver
in term of interacting with the Registrant.  It is not direct
acceptance of updates.  The Registrar is still the gating entity.
This is machine to machine not person to person which is what the
intent of the agreement of no communication is about.
