Found zero information about that other than that post.

  Send a domain transfer request and see what happens.

    No I don't feel like transferring my domain just to see if someone is right in a HN comment

Those two things are not mutually exclusive. They can be the #1 host while also enforcing restrictions (which have exceptions as per https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/10519/5/faq-transfer-of-russian-customers-services-from-namecheap/ https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx...) A 5 year old link with a vague "confirmation" that it's still happening is not exactly damning evidence, either. They could have certainly considered themselves the #1 host until last year. A lot of things changed last year.

  The "#1" wasn't the important part of that title.
