Stephane,

I think it's an interesting idea, and probably one worth using Yeti for.

This is indeed a concern - the biggest in my opinion.

We talked about a similar concern with looking at alternate naming
systems for the root servers themselves. This seems to imply that the
issue may keep coming up throughout the project lifetime.

Personally I think it is more important to keep with the *spirit* of
the Yeti policy, which I think is that we intend to work the same as
the IANA root from the end user point of view.

But I realize that this is a somewhat risky position to take. Maybe
others have different ideas?

Cheers,
