Yes, but that would be equally true of the holder of the new domain. It 
would, however, make sense to have the domain reassigned to 
postgresql.org - it's currently owned by pgsql,inc. But you still need a 
contacts on the domain that are individuals, who will always have at 
least a theoretical ability to "hold hostage".

But this is really a different question from the other one. I'm not 
saying both shouldn't be fixed, I'm just saying it's different things.
