nope. read what he wrote-- "it won't work, honest". the problem is on the front-end, an "edge", specifically in the way domain tasting works. does anyone really believe that there will ever again be a million domains added to the DNS in a 24-hour period? (of course not.) then why do verisign and the other TLD registries have to cope with many millions of updates per day? if we solve THAT problem, which is difficult and barely tractible, then the "dns core" will go on as before, working just fine all the while.
DNS is no longer just being abused, it is pretty much an abuse infrastructure.
do you mean DNS or do you mean every Internet technology including IP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, BGP, etc; plus most non-Internet-specific technologies including ASCII, Unicode, 32-bit, 64-bit, and binary? "the internet, and technology in general, is no longer just being abused, it is pretty much an abuse infrastructure." <--- i'd agree with *that*.
