RE: scope of the 69/8 problem

RE: "If the roots and gTLDs are truly unwilling to help..."
The cost of installing entirely new root hints files on every
Internet-attached name server around the world is ridiculously large. It
has nothing to do with willing.
Perhaps, if the problem were defined in proper terms, and a solution
involving moving, for example, .net or .org to the blackballed space were
made to the registry/DNS owners, a discussion of real possible events could
ensue.
In the meantime, most of the discussion in this thread is wasted time and
going to the wrong targets.

I'm eager to see stats indicating how large the problem is. If the problem
is this severe, it seems all the more wrong to let innocent third parties
suffer due to what IP space was bestowed upon them.
If the roots and gTLDs are truly unwilling to help, and a handful of
entities can't cooperate, I have serious concerns why they have been handed
responsibility for such a critical piece of infrastructure. I'd expect
"it's too hard to be a good netizen" whining on other lists... but NANOG?
Roots and TLDs?
Perhaps this is an omen of the Internet yet to come. Oh joy.
