Well, must the other root servers accept the changes made by the NTIA -> IANA controlled server?  I didnot think so.  So while it is centralized, it can cease to be centralized anytime the caretakers of the other caretakers decide tha it should be decentralized.

On the other had, the anycast reflections of servers aroundddddd the world are, I bbbeleive, totally dependent made by the server they are based on.
