RFC8482 - Saying goodbye to ANY
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like you to welcome the new shiny RFC8482, which effectively deprecates DNS ANY query type. DNS ANY was a "meta-query" - think about it as a similar thing to the common A, AAAA, MX or SRV query types, but unlike these it wasn't a real query type - it was special.
