There's an argument to be made that "People considered carefully and

on CLASS workable, so the option isn't available" will result in
shorter conversations about those ideas.
I love your optimism, however I am skeptical that closing the registry
will have the desired effect. I suspect a more likely outcome is that
the conversations will instead get longer as they become heated as to
whether or not the registry should be reopened. I suspect a better
answer for the desired effect you are hoping for by closing the
registry would be an RFC that says "Classes Are Not The Droids You're
Looking For" that would allow "DNS experts" to simply point to that
document whenever someone suggests classes are a solution to any
particular problem.
A better answer would be to do both. That captures those people who come
into the solution space via publishing a draft and those people who
start at the IANA registry (yes, there are plenty of those). The
security world has gotten good milage about putting things in an IANA
registry hinting that the viewer is there because of the Bad Idea Fairy.
And no, I'm not offering to write said document :)
Andrew is already doing that.
