I'm appreciative of this change -- but fyi, they aren't the only TLD operators doing this, there are quite a few doing near-instant changes

I just registered a new .org and it had visibility from external NS not more than 15 minutes later (I would have paid closer attention to just how long it took, but didn't even think to check on it until reading this thread). Maybe I just got lucky and hit their update window (I registered ~ 3:15AM UTC on 11-July-2004 fwiw). Anyone know the status of .org updates?
