Back in the days before I'd ever heard of multicast DNS or zeroconf networking, I had a local dns server set up with all our subdomain.ourdomain.com duplicated as subdomain.ourdomain.local and pointing to our local dev/staging versions of our websites. It worked wonderfully, until I think MacOS 10.2 arrived (so, like 20 years ago almost) which had mDNS support for the first time and "broke" it all on me...
I switched to using subdomain.ourdomain.staging instead and got on with life. I wonder if anyone's gonna have to deal with the fallout of that decision when someone oneway pays ICANN enough money to own the .staging TLD?
(I wonder how much "interesting" stuff would land in your mail/web/ssh/whatever log files, if you registered .staging and .dev and just logged everything that came past (or intentionally/actively honey potted everything there?)
