[dns-operations] DNSSEC algorithm 3 stats (DSA/SHA1)

I was surprised to find DNSSEC algorithm DSA/SHA1 still in use,
though perhaps at matching RSA key sizes it may offer similar
security to algorithm 5?

I've found 2613 domains with such keys:

  Key size (bits) | # domains
  ---------------------------
              512 | 1
             1024 | 2612

All but 9 of the domains are registered under .me and have tech at ovh.net
as the SOA mrname, most also have ovh.net MX hosts.  Anyone know how it
came to be that the last foothold of DSA/SHA is just .me domains hosted
by OVH?
