I support adoption but share opinion that the document should not be published as is.

Rationale:
- People are going to squat on global DNS no matter what IETF does.
- This document is an opportunity to:
a) Say "squating is a bad idea, see RFC 8244 and think it through" before you decide to squat.
b) Highlight _already reserved_ (by ISO) TLD strings for people who ignored warning in point [a] above.
c) I believe that side-effect of getting people _who insist on private TLD anyway_  one of 40-something strings instead of "pick your not-really-random-TLD" can lead to decrassing traffic to root and easier monitoring in practice as caching should work better (either with query name minimization or aggressive use of cache).
