Most browsers update themselves these days, so getting HTTPS/SVCB support
rolled out in the client seems to be a lesser problem. Doing ANAME properly
would require resolver upgrades.

99% of the reason for ANAME was that browser vendors were unwilling to use
SRV.  If they *are* willing to use HTTPS/SVCB - which looks promising at
the moment - then the remaining use cases for ANAME aren't worth the
complexity.
