If the roots and gTLDs are truly unwilling to help, and a handful of entities can't cooperate, I have serious concerns why they have been handed responsibility for such a critical piece of infrastructure. I'd expect "it's too hard to be a good netizen" whining on other lists... but NANOG? Roots and TLDs? Perhaps this is an omen of the Internet yet to come. Oh joy.
Come on, you're asking the root and/or TLD operators to renumber their servers -- not a trivial task -- every few months to intentionally disable their own service for what amounts to an academic experience. These folks are in the business of running a critical system that requires 100% uptime for hundreds of millions of users, and they do a damned good job. Let them do it in peace, and find some other "must have" service (like porn) to put in 69/8.
