While self-service DNS entries is a good thing for those who know and understand what to do, in the hands of a non-knowing newbie it is bad. As for doing the entries for people in my area or even outside of it, they were spaced out enough to not be a bother. For the newbies, it gave me a chance to converse with them and be the Elmer that those of us with experience should be. I would hope that the coordinators, if they continue to exist as per G1FEF's comments to me recently, should have the ability to make the DNS entries for others who need the help.

administrative burden that the coordinators had to get involved just to set up RR's in existing allocations. People have always been very gracious about it (thank you, Charles) but I also felt kind of sheepish asking, because I knew I was asking to take someone else's time. If I just want to change a hostname or add a record, this is much easier and I think will lend itself well to experimentation.
