This raises another critique of the argument to sequence DNSSEC first, then
addt'l TLDs, IPv6, etc. If we're only doing a 100 TLDs/year then the
"big jump" becomes a non-factor for a while - so we shouldn't rush
signing the root.
Yes, I learned in questioning Lars that
the “big jump” would only happen if we were talking 100,000 –
1 million TLDs, not 100.
And I learned the lines on his graph were
simply made up to illustrate a point – they were not scientific products of
the simulation.
Or, even if we sign the root, we can
still add 500 – 1,000 TLDs, no worries.
