[At-Large] [lac-discuss-en] Vistaprint is abandoning .vista

[Joly MacFie]

I think that there's another POV which was argued out in the early 00's,
which is, given appropriate reliability, security and social checks and
balances, there is no compelling technical reason for tld's to be
restricted.

I'd say IDN spoofing is a way bigger issue than wilting brand tlds.
