VeriSign Capitulates

Quite the opposite.  It is a very carefully chosen set of words
indicating that:

	1.	DNS didn't stop functioning.
	2.	The internet did not fail to route packets because of this.

It carefully side-steps the other issues raised without looking like it
is ignoring them.  Verisign is a lousy DNS provider and an even worse
registry/registrar, but, they have great press writers.
