Having written said draft, I can safely say that you are 100% wrong. The 
cause of the problem is lack of entry into the legacy root. If there was 
access, there would be no alt.roots. No one would care or bother about 
alt.roots. End of story. Blaming alt.roots is like blaming the police for 
criminals.

And there lies the current problem. Irresponsible people running around 
pretending nothing is wrong and ignoring the fragmentation of the DNS, 
while big corporations are permitted to break the DNS even further.
