The analogy is more true than you believe.  Someone told you on this
very same list that it was not allowed, and you argued that it wasn't
denied therefore it should be okay.  You're doing an excellent job of
ignoring contrary opinions and reinventing facts.

And the very same root operators are on dns-operations list telling you 
not to do this, and you are ignoring them there too.

Everyone has spoken up, and you've ignored every one of them.  Including
the root operators themselves.  Because they are unable to convince you,
they're going to have to disable AXFR and break a lot of things all over 
the world to get this stupidity stopped.
