Are you suggesting that new gTLD servers are never going to be deployed, or
that existing ones will not change?

It doesn't.
However, ARIN cannot address issues of operator error on a server. If you
would like ARIN to be able to do this, I suggest you lobby the AC.

True, but if the appropriate internet connection is down then it is very
relevant, and I see the type of errors you describe above as being relatively
few.

*shrug*, perhaps. I'd like to see your data on this instead changing a
ratified AC proposal based on your straw-man.
