Hopefully no one minds an OT response here.  

The current OpenNIC infrastructure has been fairly stable for at least
5 years now, thanks to the hard work of a few dedicated individuals
who donate their efforts and hardware to keeping the root zone up to
date and synced with ICANN's.  The root zone is regenerated nightly,
so even if root zone generation fails (a rare occurrence, but it has
happened), there is always the previous night's root zone to fall back
on.
