The thing is, do you trust Network Soltions (or godaddy) to keep your domain for 100 years?
Personall, I'd like to see NSI perfect the two or three years at a time subscription before I trust them for a century or two. Of course, if they lose a name in year 80 or so, its not like I'd get fired or anything ;)
