Several of us (including, I'm afraid, anybody I know who actually has
to operate servers) _always_ thought it was a terribly unfortunate
term, that it was careless language, and that it was going to come
back and hurt.  But people were willing to live with it because they
thought it was limited to the new TLDs; and, since those new TLDs
couldn't be used in any other part of the Internet before delegation,
it was not so risky.

The very concern that many of us had is now being proposed to be
activated now.  This is the same kind of problem that the IAB was
worried about earlier in the over-broad mission language.

Best regards,

A
