Hi Sandro:

I'm guessing this is all really tongue in cheek. ;) In a regular
production environment we are looking at 1m identifiers, or 10's of
millions and upwards, or sometimes up to the billions of identifiers.
We're not going to gift those away. Or necessarily promise them on a
sometime (here today, gone tomorrow) DNS address. Let's differentiate
(right now) production environments from sandboxes. The numbers are
different. The committment is different.

Cheers,

Tony
