> We think that the root server distribution should take regional Internet population size into consideration, so we hope the people in charge read this and act accordingly as the Internet continues to grow.
This is really the sum of their analysis? They "think"? The "people in charge"? No analysis of actual performance? No discussion of the fact that caching resolvers mean that most queries never hit the root servers? No discussion of the fact that this is just the distribution of sites that the 13 root server IP addresses map to via anycast, and that each site will have many actual physical machines behind that IP address?
How about doing some measurement to see if there is any problem? Some analysis that discusses what effects this might have? Some discussion of who those "people in charge" are, and what it's suggested that the should do?
This kind of drivel really makes me which that Hacker News had a downvote button for articles.
