I'm not so much concerned about how long this step took for exactly the reason you mention: there is little advantage in having TLD AAAA glue records (you say ccTLDs, what about the gTLDs then??) without the same for the root itself. What I _am_ worried about is the way they presented this fairly small step as a huge deal. As I wrote on my website: "One small step for mankind... but a huge step for ICANN."
