Funny, I don't recall too many people complaining about it being a security or stablity issue.
Begging your pardon?
Was that intended to be sarcastic?
That's precisely what this is.
It means that misaddress mail doesn't bounce if VeriSign decides they want to read your email.
It means that indexing search engines get horfed into indexing whatever VeriSign feels like horfing them into indexing.
Both of those are directly related to the "VeriSign is monopolistic" and giving themselves infinite free advertising that they make other people pay for (and should have to pay for themselves, since the TLDs are supposed to be administered non-preferentially), but the underlying security and stability issues are huge.
