They're selling the _registrar_ business off.  They retain the _registry_
and the associated stuff to the back end DNS.

One might well suppose that VeriSign is somewhat keen to be permitted to
run Sitefinder as, when you come down to it, its a tidy little money
spinner for impressively little effort to point traffic to it.
Particularly if the money coming in from the registrar side is drying up.
