Hello,
This is an interesting argument. Boths sides present a good case.
I however do not believe the argument that domainwhiz is presenting is as
compelling as s/he thinks.
Let us examine the position.
Other registrars provide the email and dns offerings.
So if a current reseller at OpenSRS needed those offerings they would leave
OpenSRS and get those services with another registrar.
If a new reseller wanted those services they would sign up with the other
registrar instead of opensrs to get the services.
Both cases you have the same competition you are complaining about.
But in either case Opensrs loses out.
It seems very obvious to me that opensrs has to create the services to stay
competive with other regisrars.
The "bigger" "more tech experienced" resellers are not being hurt any more
than they already are with all the other registrars providing the exact same
services with zero barier to entry to any current or future opensrs
resellers.
Domainwhiz is latching on to the point that promises where made. That is
very arguable. But what we do know is that the landscape of the internet
changes greatly even within a short period of time. And if a promise that
was made equates to suicide I understand going against it :D
