Some of these are very subjective, and some are fraught with bias, for various reasons (e.g., the text on the name collisions submission site itself). There are certainly advantages to the approach used in the previous round, but suggesting that it was successful--at least without any definitive metrics on which to base that subjective description--is counter-productive.

Casey,

What I mentioned is that such an occurrence had a high chance of being known via other channels if it happened. Including knowing that a life has been lost to an IT malfunction without anyone knowing it was caused by DNS.

So while reporting failures could happen for other consequences of name collision, this one is way different.
