While Paypal may well be resolved, at least 408 other domains are still
not returning the requisite NSEC (or NSEC3) RRs.  For example:

    https://dnsviz.net/d/_25._tcp.sili.dev/dnssec/
    https://dnsviz.net/d/_25._tcp.e33.info/dnssec/

    - Hooray!  Algorithm 13 (P256) CSK.
    - Oops, NXDOMAIN with no NSEC!

Perhaps, in addition to the software update, zone files for the affected
domains also need to be rebuilt (to repair the NSEC chains), which may
take more time.  If so, with a bit of luck, I should see a decline in
the number of affected domains over the coming days.
