I'm still seething about `.dev`.

For those not in the know, Google lobbied ICANN to get the name and in their application they stated (repeatedly) that the intent was to buy it so that it could be reserved; as .dev was already used by developers and if someone bought it for commercial purposes it would harm the developer community.[0]

.... they then proceeded to start selling them.

Leading to all kinds of issues, the exact issues that they raised...
