If everyone* just ran a full recursing resolver would that cause undue load on the root-servers? Seems like a sane way to decentralise.

* Actually only ~1% of internet users, the kind of people that install openwrt

Root servers get basically no traffic anyway. It's basically all cached by recursors.
