There is no reason technical that ENS could not run root .eth servers and have these in the global DNS namespace. It would be a centralized service with decentralized records.

I'm saying it wont happen because they wont let it. Its a closed club, and its a big deal when new TLDs get added. Johnny ethereum isn't allowed in.

Unfortunately though, .eth already collides with the reserved 3 letter country TLD made for Ethiopia.

That is the best way to describe ENS. Your .eth domain is still sitting on a single TLD managed by so called 'trusted' centralised key holders.

Ah interesting hadn't realized it was a closed club. Heard it was some kind of delegate, DAO but that likely just means those with the money win right?
