So it's okay to screw over "nearly fifty thousand" customer domains because
there are 140M .com's? When talking about inadvertently effecting that
many folks I don't think it is appropriate to trivialize the customer
impact by calling it small when you're talking about a handful of large
websites that aren't somehow magically shared over those 140M .coms. Also
it is untrue to limit it to only "the websites" given how many other things
folks are likely to be using DNS for...
