While the article is wrong about the amount of time, it is correct that .yu outlived Yugoslavia by several years; the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was replaced in 2003 with the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro, which itself was dissolved in 2006; the .yu domain was eliminated in 2010.

The situation with the .su domain is discussed at length in the article and its continued existence and use is contrasted with the treatment of .yu.
