Having to "force" a root server to renumber if it goes out
of RIPE's region seems like a bad idea.

ARIN's micro allocation policy does not specifically require
a renumber for critical (root-server) infrastructure, should that
infrastructure move outside of ARIN's region.

So, maybe the root-servers should goto IANA and be allocated IP
space directly from IANA and thus be a "special RIR" ??
