Agreed.

I would suggest doing a full bug report into an issue next time and including all the relevant details instead of piggybacking on an internal issue.

There is a subtle difference between #5570 and the issue reported below, and thus these are two distinct bugs.

Especially because it should be able to reproduce it on any system, which disables RSASHA1 and RSASHA1NSEC3 algorithms. But delv tool shows wrong behaviour only on CentOS 9 or CentOS 10 derivatives. On other systems it seems unaffected on the first glance.
