So, I want to discuss a particular DNS entry: fabre.debian.net.
This DNS record was owned by ex-DD ukai.
He was retired 2009-08-25, and it holds dnsZoneEntry: fabre IN A 218.223.29.46.

You can ensure this by the following command:

  ldapsearch -u -x -H ldap://db.debian.org -b dc=debian,dc=org uid=ukai

I want to reuse this subdomain to plan running an experimental service.
Here is a brief explanation about it.

I thought that we need to discuss based on the fact, so I've attached that list.
But, I should be more careful to handle it...
