I'd say the RA machines and root servers are something of common interest,
esp. to the people who "make things go".  I can't think of many/any other
examples that I'd say deserve such special treatment.

Skip RSs.  They use address space from networks on which they reside,
perfectly natural and reasonable.

'Deserve'?  Is this like China 'deserves' a /8?  Do root servers have egos
that need coddling?

Why do they NEED special address space?  What's the matter with the address
space of the normal networks in which they reside?  If there is someing bad
about those networks, then they need fixing, and access to the root (or
other) servers will be fixed with that change.
