If 2-3% of the sites ran such SMTP servers, it wouldn't bring down the internet. If however, half the servers were ROT13 and half weren't, and the two did not interoperate, things WOULD start failing.
And do you believe that people would simply sit on their hands and lament the lack of interoperability?
If you use one root, everybody agrees what things look like. If you use multiple roots, what people will see depends on which root they ask. How is this political?
"...That one root must be supported by a set of coordinated root servers administered by a unique naming authority."
