If you're affected, you can switch your domains to their DNSv1. Seems pretty quick for most people. See the other thread here: http://status.namecheap.com/?p=14846

Fair question, but I'd imagine it's not worth spending time migrating users to a different system if the attacker can simply update the servers they're targeting to follow you there.
