People are queueing up to take over any domain with moderate amount of traffic. Since the expiry time is public, there are lists of soon-expiring domains. This is way worse for a heavy traffic domain, and probably ridiculous for x.org.

You can't register a single-letter .org anymore.

But they are being "awarded" [1]. So if it expires, maybe they could get it back since they're a non-profit.

So they are currently grandfathered in, and as soon as the record expires it's a dead domain?
