90 percent of these are devices that folks here seem to assert the end-user are 
capable of managing or upgrading and intelligently operating. (90% is based on 
the rDNS of the devices matching typical dynamic user range regex, including 
small businesses that depend on DNS).

That's not the case, they are not well maintained. My ongoing measurements are 
proof of this. I await the trends to change and show some improvement, but I 
don't expect it.
