While I agree that a complete solution is needed (And is coming...) I
think the decision was to go with a partial solution or no solution.
In some ways I can understand going along with a method that allows
at least 40% of internet users (and probably more from my stats) to
utilize those domains in some fashion now, and don't see anything
particularly wrong with that.
Now if it meant that a complete solution wasn't going to be
forthcoming, that would be another story.
