ditto.
i'm not aware of any actions by the .eg registry operator, though i'll
ask, coincidental to the prefix withdrawal.
i suppose in the interests of completeness i should also ask about the
(wicked recent) (مصر.) IDN ccTLD.
these are both wicked small zones, relative to the density of names
registered (registries other than .eg) by egyptian residents, and the
larger number of network using egyptians.
it is possible that as a preliminary step, the recursive resolver
operators of each of the subsequently prefix withdrawing providers
modified their cached data to provide policy-based resolution.
