Those are fair comments, for sure.

Have we had a conversation on openNIC possibly becoming a TLD gateway
for decentralized DNS systems?  Is this perhaps something that needs to
be discussed in order to help for those who would otherwise run a T2
peer, so that they could simply inject their TLDs in a proper, formal
process, without the need for a new TLD discussion?
