Quiet honestly I'd like to see all of the GTLD servers given to neutral
companies, ones that ARE not registrars.  Verisign is already engaging in a
lot of unfair business practices because they hold the GTLD servers for
net/com.  The wildcard SNAFU is just one of their tactics to patch the
financial hole since people have been switching registrars in droves.
