That's been true approximately forever, viz. .onion, .belkin, .corp, .local, .mail, and probably still .uucp that are too poisoned to allow reliable delegation and new use. That's why we're here. The fundamental and I hope obvious problem, is that the IETF and ICANN have no control over software that people write and the hardware they embed it in. If someone creates popular software leaking requests for .PICKLE, we can grouse all we want but since we're not the Network Police, there's not much we can do about it.
