Well, the policies should created for humans that deal with machines,
not for machines that have to deal with humans.

Renumbering Google means a change of an A (or CNAME) record. And
people can still use Altavista or Lycos, so no big deal.

Renumbering a ccTLD DNS is painful - even a secondary one. Not to
mention what happens to the primary, if the operator providing
connectivity to the registry bankrupts. Remember the ns.EU.net case?

And what about public exchange points?
