I have to agree. I think that the technology to develop a name server system that no one government can control is worthwhile even if it is never deployed. We should at least know how to do it and have that be out there so that if the powers that exist now keep crossing lines that shouldn't be crossed then the people can switch them offf rather than them switching us off.

I am not an anarchist (on the contrary), but it has become increasingly clear that the entities that rule current Internet namespace are more part of the problem than part of the solution...

And besides, there is space to create an alternative DNS root server infrastructure (maybe a superset of this). I haven't given this much thought, though...
