Quite, and completely eliminate the risk of a DDoS attack on the root servers.
Very easy today when the root file is 200 nodes. But what is it going
to be like after ICANN has managed to sell TLDs to everyone in the
F500 and so on?
Might be some interesting fireworks there as 'non-profit' ICANN
charges $50,000 per application but the root zone operators are
unpaid. Nice little earner that. Trebles and pay rises all round.
Beckstrom is at least a serious contender for whom the ICANN money
might be considered a competitive salary. The same could not be said
of his predecessor with a straight face.

The only keys that have to be widely distributed are those for the

operators have managed that.
Would be great if the list of root servers and list of trusted root
certificates could be distributed in one easy to install file...
