Not true.  Verisign (and WarrenK) did active outreach for dozens of 
strings that directly resulted in billions of queries per day going away 
and more properly configured end systems leading to a more secure 
internet.  The results of that are in the NCAP trove here.

Had the "wheel-spinning" cycles consumed here just did some active 
outreach perhaps we'd be done now :-)

Did anyone study whether CI had a material impact on the diversity 
and/or volume of collisions seen at the freshly delegated TLD level?  
It's unfortunate there was no requirement for that information to be 
reported or analyzed at that level - that would certainly help me better 
characterize the efficacy of CI.  FWIW, I think CI was clever, just not 
sure how effective.
