Keep in mind that the membership, at one point, voted this TLD
in...so *somebody* (most likely more than one person) saw value in
this TLD.

Sort of like introducing a new logo to replace an existing logo...is
it really necessary?

We can tweak on OpenNIC ad infinitum...as new people come in, new
ideas are brought into the fold, and what was of value to some is now
of no value to others.

I caution everyone against this idea that OpenNIC is constantly in
need of reinventing itself.  There is value in continuity.
