A site who hosts a Global Internet critical infrastructure is not bound to the same procedures as a regular site. It takes a certain amount of trust to have one of the Internet's core devices hosted at your site. While it is sometimes required to perform changes, it is no wonder that the community is involved and worried, since the D root server is a global infrastructure device, regardless of where it is located, and it is expected from UMD to behave accordingly (not that they are not, but just in the grand scheme of things).I am pretty sure that UMD doesn't think that the D root is akin their web server, as you would suggest in your mail (their infrastructure, their server, their procedure,
not owe anything to anyone, etc etc...)It is critical to all of us, and we can and should lend our advice or even request (and sometimes require) a level of assurance that we (that is the operators on theInternet which is being served by D, since D is no local UMD service) will not end up hurt.
It is their decision to make ultimately, but they can and should hear us, and if there is actually a grain of wisdom in what is being said, to consider it and amend plans.
While there is no "specific and contractual" SLA in place, that does not mean that a root server operator is free to do whatever they please with critical global infrastructure, and I am very sure that this attitude is not prevalent with any Root operator out there.
