Hmm, do you remember all mistakes done in the domain data base? If someone
lost your domain, you can at least look on the WWW page or sent a mail; if
someone lost your routing, you can turn off all your equipment and go
fishing /and you can close your business/. And remember, we are going to
the VoIP telephony - in some cases you even can not call them...

No, any attempt to remove route objects (not the maintaners) due to some
fee's means the death of the RA-DB as the route-registry.
