You mispelt ``I like diagnosing problems caused by ISPs failing to update
their copy of the root zone''.

If people are still running Bind (insert scarily low release here, see
David Conrad's survey), changing the method by which the root zone is
distributed will take a considerable amount of time (many years) to be
effective.
