Well, considering that large numbers of community members here installed the BIND patch (and patches for other vendors software) the day it was released, I think we're just fine with this. :-)
I am personally thrilled they are reverting. I also hope ICANN succeeds in politely (without the need for legal actions) convince them that this is a bad idea. I have confidence in the bind patch not breaking bind when Verisign reverts back, but there were some pretty rash suggestions when the sitefinder service first came online. (Paul, bind won't break when this goes back to normal will it?) I just wanted to point out if anyone did something other than just patching bind and moving on, consider the repercussions of Verisign reverting or you might have your weekend plans averted to undo your changes.
