Namecheap Has DNSSEC Outage, No Disclosure on Status Page, Refuses Post-Mortem

Multiple people, including myself, have reported on Twitter that Namecheap had a DNSSEC outage a day ago which caused an unknown number of domains to stop being resolved by major DNS resolvers including Google 8.8.8.8, Cloudflare 1.1.1.1, and Verisign 64.6.64.6. Some are still down today, presumably due to downstream caching.

I do not mind that they had an outage. What I do mind is their response to it. They still have not acknowledged the problem on their status page, and they refuse to provide any post-mortem.

I searched on Twitter and this problem seems to be occurring yearly. I have serious concerns about how they run operations, DNS should be mission critical for a registrar.

Which registrar takes DNSSEC more seriously, where should I move my domains?
