I am not afraid of ICANN. They are predictable and fast as an iceberg.
Chinese governements are far less predictable but they try to be ICANN
compatible.
I am really afraid of Microsoft:
Last time they have broken "localhost" now they do it again with "local" and
what new toplevel domains next windows update will bring - not even Bill
Gates knows.
"local" did collide! What ever you answer for "*.local" will break their
directory services. The only reliable solution seems to be:
$TTL 2D
$ORIGIN local.

I guess that would solve the "localhost" problem too - but it does not give
the right answer :)
