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.

And no, I'm not offering to write said document :)
