Also, this "Camel" in the presentation may have been a mythological
beast, but the real and existing DNS Camels that struggle with their
backs breaking under the weight of DNS are the DNS implementations,
especially the open source ones that are underfunded and understaffed.

If someone wants to add more weight on top, do so by helping by
implementing it for one or more of the majorly used open source
implementations. I can't agree that a closed-source or an example
implementation of itself will suffice, when the burden eventually comes
onto us.

Other than that, the "Camel" that everyone feels sorry for doesn't
exist.
