Actually, I've applied for a vendor name in the past - I think Ask might have been busy at the time because I never received a response (and my anti-spam is very liberal - nothing is nuked unless it's 99.9999% spam). Perhaps these vendors did not receive a response in whatever time interval they consider "reasonable" (an hour?) so just went with the pool.
I should note that I don't blame Ask at all, the work he does is excellent. Also I thought the request not to use the pool directly was for IP addresses - using the DNS names was OK?

Whenever I see a device or OS that uses the pool, it always uses the generic names just like your phone.
