[dns-operations] Bloke takes over every .io domain by snapping up crucial name servers

[James Stevens]

Reminds me of when I worked at an Anycast provider, first the client 
would add us into the Zonefile NS, then some weeks later we'd get added 
into the ROOT zone.

When we were only in the Zonefile we'd get about 10% of the traffic we'd 
see when we were also in the ROOT zone.

Not scientific, but approx
