Re-enabled within one hour after a serieous problem I see nothing
wrong here.

If you're interested in what's going on and possibly "friendly"
registrars, "Fyodor" has set up a site about it.
http://nodaddy.com/
As far as I see it Fyodor is just a hot headed asshole, I know lots of
people who are very happy with Godaddy. They really have lots of
customers and it's easy to find a few that aren't happy and start
screaming about it.
Besides I remember Godaddy being on this list:
http://www.openbsd.org/donations.html
And I remember the amount of money involved too.
Godaddy is bij far the most OpenBSD frienly big registar
