The slide deck is here:

The resulting recommendation from the research is that a simple
padding policy is relatively cheap and still protective of metadata
when DNS traffic is encrypted:
* queries should be padded to a multiple of 128 octets
* responses should be padded to a multiple of 468 octets
This change adjusts the default policy to match these recommendations.
I recently proposed a similar change to libknot to define a standard
policy in a centralized place:
I'll submit a followup request to make use of that centralized policy
(once kresd is willing to depend on a newer version of libknot), but
please consider this proposed change first.
