I'm eager to see stats indicating how large the problem is.  If
the problem is this severe, it seems all the more wrong to let
innocent third parties suffer due to what IP space was bestowed
upon them.

If the roots and gTLDs are truly unwilling to help, and a handful
of entities can't cooperate, I have serious concerns why they
have been handed responsibility for such a critical piece of
infrastructure.  I'd expect "it's too hard to be a good netizen"
whining on other lists... but NANOG?  Roots and TLDs?

Perhaps this is an omen of the Internet yet to come.  Oh joy.
