------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2008-02-08 02:58 -------
Here is a summary of comments from sa-dev that should be here for the record:

Michael Parker said:

Would anyone object to removing .so from this list?  The .so TLD is  
basically dead and we've found that lots of bogus domains like lib*.so  
are being caught by this.  Also sometimes you'll have spammers who are  
putting in gibberish or funny punctuation and you'll get sentences  
like 'blah blah.So this is'.  It also occurs with a couple of other  
domains but .so is by far the worst.

For more info on the .so domain you can read about it here:

To which I replied:

After reading the Wikipedia entries for the TLDs that they list as unused, I
would be in 
favor of removing all of them

  bv gb pm sj so um yt

If spammers can't use them as domains, then all including them could do would 
be to 
generate false positives.

The three listed as "phaseout", su tp yu, on the other hand, I would keep,
because it 
appears from the Wikipedia articles that they are in active use either during a
transition 
period or because their phaseout is being resisted.

If we can reach consensus on this, I'll make the changes to the code I 
committed.
