This feels insane to me. Like, they're just terminating existing registrations? As the article says, this is a massive security problem waiting to happen, and there will be a lot of untoward consequences if things aren't handled very carefully. Let's not forget the SEO or marketing consequences either. If you've got a business with this sort of domain, you're basically screwed. If existing third level registrations are terminated, and you can't get the relevant second level domain, your SEO/marketing work has literally been shot to pieces. I wouldn't be surprised if Verisign got sued for this. There's no reason not to honour existing registrations while discontinuing new ones here, and the fact they're not feels completely at odds with how the internet should work as a whole.
