I don't think any other solution is any more fair than FCFS.

See, this is the argument that makes the least sense to me.  Verisign
can solve the technical problem here (and it is a strictly TECHNICAL
PROBLEM), but rather than solve the problem their poor system design
has created, they are trying to use the problem to justify a way for
them to add a new profit center.

They did the same with Registrant Name Transfers, and other domain
changes, at the Registrar level, by adding their $199 rush service
option.

We should NOT reward Verisign for the flaws in their systems, they
should instead be mandated to fix the technical problems.
