Actually, I suspect that the breakage will be fairly minimal -- Google
Public DNS appears to have been returning NXDOMAIN since launch:
dig +nocmd +nostats localhost @8.8.8.8
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 55075
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;localhost. IN A

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

1800 900 604800 86400


and Verisign returns NOERROR (probably also since launch):
dig +nocmd +nostats localhost @64.6.64.6
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 44657
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;localhost. IN A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
localhost. 10800 IN A 127.0.0.1


This doesn't seem to have caused any breakage - or, at least, we
haven't heard of any, and apparently basically no-one had noticed a
difference :-)

-- 
I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
