Surprised this was actually approved, but more so that this story seems to
have gone unnoticed on the list... I would have expected a lot more chatter
here -

So the days of pointless TLDs are amongst us as we've now given would-be
registrars the right to print money and companies are forced to purchase
useless domain names in order to protect their trademarks, prevent
squatting, etc. When will sanity prevail?
