I do understand that very well. I participate in the largest (and oldest?)
alt root server network, ORSC, by operating, at present, two root-servers.
My only problem with some people in the alternative roots movements
(plural) is the idea that there should be competition for root services. I
think that does not make much sense.

It is great that there are different publishers of road maps. A variety in
maintainers of road signs on highways is another thing. Rather not.
