So, under "normal" circumstances (the other 360-ish days in the year), if a
domain is deleted, it's not released for 5 days... typically domains are
only deleted outside of a grace period for compliance/legal reasons - the
registry gives a 5 day buffer for a "OH NO!", so it can be undone.
That 5 day buffer is also being replaced with the 30 day "Restore" window
(Verisign is calling it a "Redemption Period")
Why can't we use this buffer then? 5 days isn't up yet.
