Inferencing the US govt. is out of the loop is a logical leap
of faith. Tell me who owns the "." and why wouldn't the Feds
of some denomination step in to "stabilize" the namespace.
In other words, why would they risk such a valuable resource,
built in the past with US taxpayer money, walk away to a
potentially non-US private enterprise or a consortium.

I'm just pointing out one more plausible outcome, not meaning
to argue.
