Great. In some odd way, this reminds me of some financial derivatives (like CDS), which seem to have done away with having any kind of well-defined purpose and simply exist as another speculation opportunity.
Likewise, we now have the first TLD which does not even pretend to stand for anything but simply exists so all the popular domain names can be sold again yet another time.
