And the addition of new TLDs would cause instability because ....? I am not sure I understand your point. And also, who said anything about setting up new roots? There are a host (sorry for pun) of ways of introducing new TLDs without adding new roots. For instance the New.Net approach and the addition of new ccTLDs and the addition of new gTLDs via ICANN/DoC (.biz, .info, etc). The core question remains, why would the addition of a new TLD per se (that is, in and of itself) lead to or be possibly likely to lead to "instability" of the Internet?

Whether you agree or not, I'd of though that the issues of stability or rather the problems created with setting up new roots was very obvious to anyone of a technical background? Example 1) Most of the Internet resolves one set of addresses, a subset resolves a different set. Like dialling a phone number and it ringing a different person depending on which phone company you use.
