Since we'll apparently have one more iteration of the draft, one small
detail. The draft says:

If you have access to a passive DNS database, you can check by
yourself. Indeed, the vast majority of HINFO comes from Cloudflare
domains. In .fr (3 million domains), DNSDB found only 54
non-Cloudflare HINFO. My favorites are (a former employer):

iiel.iie.cnam.fr. IN HINFO "VS3100" "VMS-6.2"
wotan.iie.cnam.fr. IN HINFO "AlphaServer-1000" "OSF"

I strongly doubt there is really a VaxStation 3100 still in operation
