As far as I know, this mechanism doesn't prevent you from creating 
another root. (or just deleting the old one)
Not to speak of that it isn't (again afaik) in use or even implemented 
yet - though I'm unsure about that last part (implementation), as I 
didn't look too deep into the mud created by those in the media industry 
that tried to coerce the TCG into implementing their wet dream of an 
ultimately locked down consumer world.
