That was my point re: masses, etc. We apparently have different assumptions implicit in "adding any new TLDs". Root servers, like rule of law, is a consensual social delusion. I'm not one that likes to limit my reachability, so from my perspective no, they aren't added and I only see them through the subdomains of new.net. Interesting how aware they are of their present lack of critical mass; see their explicit instructions for non-windoze OS users. They don't ask end-users to add their servers in, but rather to simply extend their resolver search to look under new.net.
