having written the technical portion of winning proposal to ntia for the .us zone, i differ.
as i recall, having done the research, in the year prior to the ntia's tender some six people held some 40% of the major metro area subordinate namespaces. to my chagrin, relieved by a notice of termination days before my stock in the company vested, the winner adopted a "orange-black" model, deprecating the namespace's existing hierarchical registration model for a flat registration model.
the registration process model for .us is dissimilar to the registration process models of .edu, .mil and .gov, as are the contractors to the government.

Obviously no serious consideration was given to that plan 10 years ago, or we wouldn't still be having the conversation today.
