Are there any compelling reasons (other than perhaps compatibility with other
sites using Hesiod) that I should use the HS class rather than IN?
No, at this point compatibility is the only reason. We discussed
changing it at MIT, but decided it was too much effort since we have a
working system now.
There is support in the hesiod libraries for inter-realm hesiod, which
won't work with sites using a different class. But other than that,
there's nothing to stop a new site from switching back to IN.
