Agreed that these glue records shouldn't exist. Glue should only be
required when a domain's NS are within the domain itself, or when there
is a loop (example.com uses ns[1-2].example.net and example.net uses
ns[1-2].example.com) -- However, I suspect that to avoid loops PIR is
adding extra glue records where it's not strictly required.

Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary;
it's highly superfluous.
