Unless it never works. If we announce we are not going to support this hijacking of barewords, and perhaps get other browser vendors to join us (I suspect Chrome would be keen; this is a problem for them) . I also think there would be resistance within ICANN to A records at the root, but I don't have the insight to know who would win that battle. AIUI, the current docs don't ban them outright, but say that any additional record types would require a stability review.
