When I see claims like this, I really have to wonder how well people
understand the way that the DNS works. If you want to publish your
own root that merges the real root (the one that the A through M root
servers publish with advice from ICANN) with stuff of your own, you
can do it now, and it wouldn't make any practical difference if you
could AXFR every zone in the world.
I haven't seen any reason to change my opinion about that particular
brand of flimflam since RFC 2826 (May 2000).
