The problem is caused over people squatting on desirable package names, right? Only solves the issue up to the point where people start to squat on desirable namespaces. If you only develop one or two packages, you don't really care about the squatting issue. Especially if a non-DNS-namespace is free. Light users are generally unaffected by the problem, so they continue to fit within a "free" offering. Squatting is a non-issue with DNS. Nobody can take your domain from you; effectively, using DNS outsources the control issue to DNS control. The only issue is to guarantee consumers that their builds won't break just because their packages went through forced deprecation when DNS control transferred. The people who suffer from the issue badly enough to need DNS namespacing are either heavy users (who are therefore much more likely to pay) or corporate entities that actually desire a paid option.
