I suspect there are a large number of Cloudflare customers that only use their DNS. I have a couple of domains in this category.

The DNS service is essentially free. It's an upgrade from most registrars' built-in DNS. It's a pretty robust solution, really -- global footprint, DNSSEC, fully working IPv6, etc.

My point is, the actual number of impacted customers was much smaller than the entire set of Cloudflare customers. There are lists in this thread that still reference hundreds of thousands (millions?) of sites, and that's just wrong.

(I agree on your first point though; I was confused about the nature of the proxy bug at first).
