expectations aren’t met, and
2) things that went ahead and trumped up their own non-canonical TLDs
for their own purposes.
Neither of those seem like practices worth defending, to me. Not worth
going out of one’s way to break, either, but…
I'm not defending any practice. Let's just say everything else goes smooth. How many fed employees are there and what's their average salary? Let's assume it takes them 5 minutes to change their email sig. How much would that cost? There's probably also a legal issue 1here. You can't make it so that someone can't communicate with their elected official. No term limits in the House so you'd start this and 50 years later, you'd be able to complete the project (due to the last congressman being replaced).
