the foreseeable future. In fact, the possibility has not even been
suggested or discussed at all.
Such total lack of advance and public discussion and preparation
on a substantial change on critical infrastructure is a serious
problem, I'm afraid.
I'm curious about what more discussion you want to happen than has
happen in the past. Over the last 20 years there have been lots of
address changes.
If such changes are performed without proper transition plans
even after DNS became critical infrastructure (when?), they
also are serious problems.
None of them have caused operational problems.
Thank you for a devil's proof. That you haven't noticed any
problem does not mean there actually was no problem.
