This is about .io being a country code and that country ceasing to exist, so .io will be retired. I say who the fuck cares, release the ~~kracken~~ .io.

The fact that an insane number of sites use it makes it a big deal. If it dies, there will be plenty of dead links

By "release the ~~kracken~~ .io" I'm saying make it open for general use that is not country specific. We already have tons of domains, I see no reason why this has to be retired.
