Happy 9th anniversary, bug!
For whatever reason I was compelled to look at this situation afresh. I've
added some instrumentation to my own site to see whether there's any external
attempts to issue pingbacks to my own site, to gauge whether it's worthwhile
spending any more time on this. But it looks like pingback in the wider world
might be dead or dying.
[I started a conversation on Twitter with the inventor of Pingback to see what
he thought](https://twitter.com/jmtd/status/1042730998839107585). He suggested
taking a look at "webmentions". here's some preliminary reading on those:
* <https://indieweb.org/Webmention>
* <https://kryogenix.org/days/2014/11/29/enabling-webmentions/>
* <https://www.kryogenix.org/days/2014/11/30/vouching-for-webmentions-hashing-for-vouches/>
At this point I don't know if webmentions actually has more traction than pingback,
but the key issue I guess is whether it's growing. I'm going to (but am yet to) add
corresponding instrumentation to my site to try and track that, too.
