With so few "slots" open in the legacy root servers, only a limited number of TLDs can be supported.
Can you translate that to English please?
By the way, there are other solutions to the aging legacy 32-bit roots. One solution is to have PKs and GKs point directly to the TLD Clusters. Some top-down-mentality-thinkers can not grasp how that could work. For them, a modified version of the no-root approach is to have "the root" formed by selected "Seed TLDs", and then those TLD Clusters can be queried about the location of other TLD Clusters. You can visualize it as a ring, where in this example, COM and ONLINE are next to each other. Each TLD below, contributes a Cluster of servers. All of the servers in all of these TLDs could be viewed as "the root"...
