so, you want give provider independence to the root servers. i.e, this is based on the idea that root servers, one of which which moves about every five or more years, and the protocols takes care of following the hints file anyway, are more deserving of provider independence than other members' servers and services. Look at it the other way around: You do not want a provider to keep that space if they should not.
