Nothing other than the fact that the root is considered special by many
and our collective processes are careful with changes to it. Some of this
actually has rechnical rationale. I'll just name two examples:

 1) The root servers are already the most loaded servers for any zone.
 2) There are concerns that buggy resolvers may behave badly and aggrevate 1) above.

So some more testing will have to be done and then the collective processes will
have to run their course..... .
