Comment on Itch drama is getting real
Nope. They already have .mu
Yeah but they UK has like 5 other domains besides .io
ccTLDs are based on the ISO two letter country codes - it’s deferring the responsibility for cleaning up the British mess to ISO
But why did the Indian ocean territories ever have an ISO country code, they were never a country? It doesn’t make sense that a territory should lose its TLD just cause it changes countries.
Half grandfathered in from a period when UK was a commonwealth, and ANZAC were not technically independent.
ISO-3166-1 has a lot of “countries” that aren’t actually independent - but useful to have codes for because they are geographically distinct.
