It's not just the size of the root that matters - the distribution
of usage (and thus locality of reference) also matters.

For those in databases: What runs more smoothly: a few subgroups in a
main group with millions of records, or a few thousand subgroups with
thousands of records?

while you are asking questions, you might as well ask others: 
which scales better?  which is more failure-tolerant?

The point is that if removing constraints on the root causes problems
(and there are reasons to believe that it will) we can't easily go back
to the way things were before.

Sure, call it a testbed, like the IDN-testbed of VeriSign.

please don't use VeriSign's abuse of DNS to justify further abuse.
