Considering I sent it less than a month ago, recieved a reply from Joyce and
Jon, and made it clear I wanted the application saved if ANY other
application was saved, yes, I would hope they kept it. Really it doesn't
matter; I will withdraw my application if I actually see it on any IANA
list, I just want to see how much they actually follow their own policies.
And I also know of several people outside the Alternic who sent messages
to IANA so I'd definitely like to see all these applications.

I don't think the IANA is a bunch of lying evil axe murderers; I just 
think they are not being clear and implementing policy only half-way.
