Here are few facts:
- Neither masternode owners, nor community as a whole paid for the domain with _their own_ money, network generated _new coins_ to compensate expenses of few core team members who paid upfront.
- In real world you need someone to be listed as domain owner.
- Infrastructure (domain included) _is_ managed by several well-known community members, not by Evan only. Obviously, you can't give an access to infrastructure to each and every community member or masternode owner, some things just doesn't work that way.
- None of us is happy it took so long to recover. The recent issue (and btw, it was two different issues which happened almost at the same time actually) revealed the fact that the process was not organized very well. Now when it's known, team is working to improve it and going to setup few fallback and automated recovery options. The actual solutions are still being discussed though to find the best combination because some of them could be costly.
