Yeah, my thoughts exactly...

I've got to think that they'll see a pretty big influx of .io registrations today & over the next few days, I'm sure they're thrilled.

I also have the same reservations too, though -- although I applaud the reaction & speed, a big part of me wonders if it's really best suited for decisions like this.

What happens when some other TLD needs to be re-categorized the same? Where does it stop?

Is there any precedent to Google removing a domain from their 'gccTLD' list?

That'd be more scary / have a bigger potential impact on people I'd assume -- although I suppose they could just 'tweak' the TLD to not rank quite as high without doing as much publicly like this perhaps...
