I know you were joking, but not a chance. The only effect this will have as far as I'm concerned is to move the transfer to the back burner for a bit (I'm on vacation at the moment, so I wasn't looking forward to dealing with the transfer hassle. Now I can enjoy a guilt-free holiday and do the transfer after I get back).

I was only on GoDaddy out of inertia/laziness anyway. At one time (quite a few years ago) they were...not good, exactly, but maybe the "least evil" of the available choices (a very similar situation to what you see with cell phone and cable TV providers). That hasn't been the case for quite some time, but I stuck with them just for the convenience of having all my stuff in one place. The constant upselling was annoying, but I rarely tinker with domain settings after the original config, so it was tolerable. This nonsense was the last nudge that was needed to push them over the cliff.
