I believe the root server operators have stated (the equivalent of) that it is not their job to make editorial decisions on what the root zone contains. They distribute what the ICANN/NTIA/Verisign gestalt publishes.
That has always been the case in the past. Given the level of public unhappiness that the US Dep't of Commerce has with ICANN's plan to add zillions of new TLDs, and noting that several of the root servers are run by agencies of the US government, who knows what will happen in the future. R's, John
