This is from your perspective and at best an over generalization. This is
why. You are defining the so-called line based on what you can accomplish
"even if you tried". What about, for example, from the perspective of say
someone who has zero technical skill? S/he could not accomplish the side
services even if they tried. So where is the line for them?
Like I said to William, I do not blame you for attempting to prevent OpenSRS
from creating the new services. Thats what business is about ... protecting
your perceived competitive advantage.
But as I already explained the extra services will in fact be better for
OpenSRS as a whole even if it might adversely affect some RSPs. (read
previous emails to see explanation)

You already have such competitors in other registrars that have resellers.
They offer those side services. So basically you as asking OpenSRS to stay
*overall* less competitive than the other registrars for your selfish gain
(which will come back to haunt us if OpenSRS starts doing worse)
later
