Inconsistencies are always fun to observe (remember the DNS is only
loosely consistent). For instance, 14 % of RIPE Atlas probes see the
late server. If the Atlas probes are representative (which is highly
doubtful), it means 14 % of the users will go to the old name servers:

% python resolve-name.py -t NS cheki.mw 
Measurement #2057637 for cheki.mw/NS uses 499 probes

One very big cloud US hoster or the other one, does it matter? :-)
