   So, if uucp domains are the answer to the active rerouting problem, how come
   more people aren't using them?

Probably because the UUCP registration process has been reasonably
successful, and most hosts to and from which mail goes are in fact
registered and unique.  It's just when you run into a duplicated,
hence unregistered, private host, or when the connectivity info of the
maps is out of date, that you run into serious problems.
