Bush's presentation was bolstered by his uses of the "last straw" metaphor, which emphasized that the addition of a small burden could cause a surprising, global, and catastrophic effect.<ref name="wikipedia" />

Common usage of the phrase "DNS Camel," however, appears to largely date to Hubert's presentation, as well as his development of the "DNS Camel" tracker for [[RFC]]s related to the DNS,<ref>[https://powerdns.org/dns-camel/ PowerDNS.org - DNS Camel]</ref> which was also posted to GitHub in March 2018<ref>[https://github.com/ahupowerdns/protocol-camel/graphs/contributors Github - protocol-camel Contributor Graph]</ref>
