I don't think that is correct. It is likely that the router for the
root-server (glad I don't need to pronounce that ;-) will get
transit from multiple parties and need to do full routing as I don't
think it is politically correct to default to someone.

A route-server doesn't neccessary need to have full connectivity,
and if it has, that connectivity doesn't have to be correctly spread
among the people using it. That wouldn't be true for a root-server, would it?
