Well, of course they're going to be whores the moment someone starts talking about profitability of what should be a utility.

After all, there'll be even more profit in selling everyone more computing power for their nameservers when the root zone files balloon up to 16^26*whatever in size. Oh, and MOAR NAMESERVERS because we want to make sure that the internet is at least one-third nameservers before anyone actually tries to get everyone using secure DNS.

This is such a fuck-up waiting to happen.
