What's interesting is that the BIND team has the single ability to
place a big obstacle in ICANN's way if they ever chose to. Shipping
the latest version of bind with an alternative root server config
would place a huge stumbling block in ICANN's path.
They are under no obligation to make the root-servers.net roots the
default configuration.
