The same providers that have DNSSEC on by default often also have DANE-enabled MX
hosts, e.g. most notably one.com, but also transip.nl, domeneshop.no, ...

The job of keeping TLSA records up to date falls on the MX host operator, not
on the domain operator, so for example, one.com has to manage only a couple of
dozen TLSA RRs (to cover their various MX clusters) and thereby enable DANE for
presently ~674k domains.

Well, we architect for a horizon somewhat beyond the present moment, so we
can wait a bit and see how this plays out.
