the problem is:
to register for a domain you need a 'working' dns
many (if not most) of the customers aren't able to configure their dns
right - which might result in a loss of a domain

so for getting the first acquisition step done this might help
of course it has no 'productive' use and maybe isn't a really god idea

and that brings us back to me very first question:
where's the best place to hack the source ?!
