Kind sir, I have been a netizen for 10 years and a network administrator
for an ISP for 4 years. The thing that -you- don't understand is the
-millions- of people flocking to the net could care one little iota about
what a root nameserver is. The only thing they care about is getting to
www.toyota.com that they heard about on television.
And I feel quite certain that www.toyota.com isn't going to turn into
www.toyota.earth which means that the people that matter and the people
that cause the change -- our users -- will never know that you exist.
Have a very pleasant day.
