Looks like Google's 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 stole them quite a bunch of traffic, simply due to it being (often) faster and ad-free. It was e.g. impossible to use OpenDNS on a server doing mail stuff because OpenDNS would resolve everything and their dead mother instead of returning NXDOMAIN.

Well, now I think I'll switch over to OpenDNS as soon as they prove to deliver un-manipulated DNS service. One way less for Google to track me.

edit: does anyone know if Cloudflare is also in the DNS business, from the resolver side? I know they and Amazon (Route53) do DNS server hosting, but does Cloudflare also provide public resolvers?
