The problem with this is that #1 is dependent on #2. For most commands (i.e. registry commands -- domain availability, register domain, renew domain, transfer domain), OpenSRS passes your request to the registry and returns to you the registry return code. If they shut off #2, #1 will never complete or always fail for registry commands. The only pieces they could break out are internal OpenSRS stuff like profile management.
