Well, at least the new TLDs will promote DNS-based cruft filtration. You can
already safely ignore anything with a .name, .biz, .info, .tv suffix, to

into the new ones...

Hey, please don't ignore .tv. No cruft from me, at least.

How do you know this? Judging by the past experience of TLDs there will not be a rush of customers but there will be a rush of people trying to make a buck.
