Go slow for me. I assume that the root server traffic analysis has been asked for by someone. What is the suggested reason for refusing to make it public?

Amen. That day is coming.

I would go further and say that ICANN has actually cause problems in the 
technical function. I'm a bit concerned with their little experiment in 
list IDN TLDs as A RRs.

Also speaking about TLDs as A RRs, what about localhost. That TLD 
causes alot of traffic at the root server level. 
   
  And if ICANN published it's root server traffic analysis we would see that. 
   
  Every computer in 
the world knows the answer to localhost. The only localhost traffic 
that is hitting ICANN roots these days is coming from misconfigured 
computers. If ICANN provided an answer to localhost then would that not 
be better. Would te internet not benefit from a decrease in localhost 
traffic to the root servers.

Part of the function of managing internet resources is to correct error.
