Not if the system is built for DNS first. If a company/individual/organisation has a domain name, they are expected to use the domain. It is much less of an issue if someone has kik.users.registry.com when the company publishes packages under kik.com.
Correct. That's a big part of why it was a joke. (It's also a contributing factor in why I wonder if golang itself is in fact a prank.)
