They are still a problem whether you think they should exist or not. The problem is that they are added unilaterally and people using them expect everyone else to be able to resolve them as well. The method of adding them was wrong as it does not scale. If every language added the equivalent you would have hundreds of sets of nameservers that you would have to track down and add to your own configuration. The whole point of the DNS was that you didn't need to do that because it provide a *single* namespace from a *single* set of servers and you didn't have to graft on hundreds of TLDs.
