Uh, how much additional down-time did you want? Rolling the clock back a decade isn't going to make things _better_.
Why do you say that? .com and .net seem to work just fine without the extreme reliance on 2 anycasted servers (i.e. they are serving up 13 different NS records). I realize .com/.net may be using anycast as well, but they've managed to engineer a solution that is stable. .org was pretty reliable when it was being run by the same folks that are still running .com/.net. .org broke one month after it was moved to UltraDNS, and has since broken at least 4 times (based on reports to NANOG). How many times have there been significant outages in .com/.net in the past 10-11 months? Wouldn't there be a huge uproar (a-la sitefinder) if .com/.net were as unreliable as .org has been? -j (wishing his domain wasn't in .org anymore)
