It's interesting to note that most of the software diversity growth in
the DNS space has been for alternative authoritative servers. At least
for the larger players in the TLD space, they probably have enough clue
and resources to not fit into the "most organizations" category

But I have to say, IME whenever I have gone to great lengths to
diversify infrastructure, the failure mode that bites you is all too
often the SPoF one didn't think of.
