Why do you say that?
.com and .net seem to work just fine without the extreme reliance
on 2 anycasted servers (i.e. they are serving up 13 different NS records).
I realize .com/.net may be using anycast as well, but they've
managed to engineer a solution that is stable.
.org was pretty reliable when it was being run by the same folks that are
still running .com/.net.
.org broke one month after it was moved to UltraDNS, and has
since broken at least 4 times (based on reports to NANOG). How
many times have there been significant outages in .com/.net in
the past 10-11 months?
Wouldn't there be a huge uproar (a-la sitefinder) if .com/.net
were as unreliable as .org has been?
-j (wishing his domain wasn't in .org anymore)
