Right. If it's FCFS, I am sure I am not the only person who will be waiting at the gate with thousands of preemptive registrations. If there is any kind of review, we have reinvented the beauty contests of RFC 6761 and ICANN, only badly and without a budget. Those of us who remember usenet (or who are still on usenet) know when the alt.* hierarchy was created, there was deliberately no process to manage what got created. There was a great deal of garbage. Some alt groups got and still have traffic, some don't. But at least the people who manage the rest of the hierarchies didn't and don't have to waste time pretending to manage it.
