One possible outcome: Start considering it a public namespace (which in practice it's been not far from for a long time).

Meaning curation falls outside it and should not be centrally and unilaterally enforced by gating the entry.

We seem to be handling the bloated .com DNS namespace just fine.

If you say so. I wouldn't think that.
