This will be a major role in The Great Firewall's downfall. The fact that there were different agencies dedicated to keeping the firewall up and running made it twice as hard to take down and get past. Now that its going to managed by one agency all it will take will be one or two major leaks to enable more people to get through it.

Then again an distributed DNS solution would make the firewall useless./div>

In slightly related news: I now own every shooting star. Anyone wishing upon a shooting star without my express permission will be sued for infringement./div>
