Reverse delegation doesn't put *hosts* under .arpa.
Are you saying that 0:0 .ARPA should remain in the root zone ?...and will not be going out of business...
What do you think should be the 8 (or 9) essential TLDs ?
How many TLDs do you think the legacy root servers can really handle ?
It's highly unlikely that any of the existing TLDs is going to disappear, no matter how much FUD so-called experts are going to spread. If the US government does weird things, chances are very high that someone else in a different countrly is going to take up maintenance of "." - and there are enough root name servers outside of the US that we don't need them. I don't see any hard technical limit on the number of TLDs (but that doesn't mean that I think there should be more of them than there are today - moving the .com mess upwards the tree doesn't solve anything).
