Out of curiosity, would any Tailscaler please answer why the exisiting $tailnet.beta.tailscale.net weren't just shortened to $tailnet.ts.net ?

(Some of us have had luck on beatiful DNS notations early)

Couple reasons.

1. We want you to be able to get HTTPS certs for these too without having to manage multiple names, but HTTPS cert names go on the CT log. See https://tailscale.com/blog/tls-certs/ and https://tailscale.com/kb/1153/enabling-https/ . So having your email address in your DNS name (and thus the CT log) from the old beta.tailscale.net forms isn't great.

2. We want you to be able to have multiple separate tailnets per org/account in the future.
