OK. I'll bite...
Given Network A, which has "golden network" content behind it as described by the RIPE paper (root and tld data), if the network has some combination of events that result in all of their announcements to you being dampened by you, your users can't get "there". For grin's, let's say we're talking about .foo, one of the larger gtld's.
But .foo is announced from 13 IPs globally, allowing for anycast probably 40 nodes. If gtld-A has an incident it may be a good thing to dampen it from the internet as it may not be reachable, the other 12 gtlds will be able to serve responses in a stable manner. Unless you're suggesting *all* the gtlds are flapping at once? Steve
