My inclination has been to solve problems rather than burn things down...
Changing the root doesn't solve the problem of all someone's servers being
down. Getting a useful (first priority: up, second priority: in and by
the country of service) set of servers into the root does solve the
problem.
I think that we (PCH) and ICANN, and RIPE, and Randy Bush, among many
others, have all put quite a bit of work into trying to see that happen.
Starting over doesn't build a better system, just a less trusted one.
