The DNS as namespace means you have a spot that's guaranteed to be free for your code

That's fine at the time, but maintainers come and go while software lives on. A name space that depends on who holds the reins and pays the rent seems rather ephemeral.

Sure, but a project facing this kind of problem usually has more assets of that kind that need to be transferred: public repository ownership, CI passwords, download server passwords, the works. Domain ownership can be transferred along with these.

Also, if money strings are an issue, domain names are the cheapest thing on the list, about a dollar per month. A repository server costs more, a CI server farm most. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
