One of the reasons for this is that in the new system, registrars are scattered worldwide. Someone at a registrar in Australia might find themselves needing to talk to someone at a registrar in Boston because of a system problem that has occurred -- or someone at the central database might have to talk to a registrar in a distant timezone. A 24x7 operation assures that there is at least some way to get in touch in an emergency, even if you are operating in very disparate timezones.
