Yeah registering a domain is sort of a permanent act. If you ever let it expire, someone else can take it over and start receiving all emails, http requests, and anything else directed at services you used to run there. And possibly responding to them. They'll easily get certificates to verify the domain, since all that's needed to do that is control of the domain.

"a domain is forever" is kind of a scary thing
DNS was designed to delegate subdomains, and we should do it.

But easier for every team to grab a new domain.
