AFTER they
did contact all the abuse contacts of networks still using it?

Why do you think that
The word "all" has a meaning.
As someone who receives abuse contact mail for multiple RIR-allocated
blocks, I am absolutely sure that no such contact was made. It also did
not land in abuse@ for ANY domain of mine, although those are not
registered, just standard.
I am also quite certain that many registered abuse contacts are email
black holes through which no one can possibly be contacted.
Just in my previous e-mail I have reported that I found 5 mails in our
ticketing system from 3 weeks ago related to hosts still using their
DNSBL.
So they definitely did contact some abuse contact.
The meanings of the words "some" and "all" are quite different.
FWIW, I think there's been no valid excuse for "list the world" tactics
for any DNSBL which has existed as long as NixSpam since the publication
of RFC6471. It is a "MUST NOT" behavior. They are still not doing what
the RFC recommends, *which it recommends for good reasons.* It is
surprising that they have not properly stubbed out the zone with a
delegation to TEST-NET, since they have 2 different options for where
they cauterize the zone: ix or dnsbl.
I guess the world just needs another prominent rude and sloppy DNSBL
decommissioning once a decade to remind everyone that a right way
exists.
