I'm still peeved they let google take over .dev when they knew tons of us used that in the older days for dev environments.

to be fair, ".dev" is not a full word, unlike INTERNAL or EXAMPLE. You're free to petition them to reserve .DEVELOPMENT, though, of course.

A convenient TLD is short, not excruciatingly loquacious. In ease of typing .dev certainly wins over .development.

It's not convenient if 99% of users (internet users) can't (effectively) use it.

.dev is great; even if Google's motives were evil-truistic; and, *.development should be among the Reserved, Internet Use only.

The abbreviated vs verbose TLD name is consistence.

There aren't any folks more appreciable than consistency then the RFC goons.

.INTERNAL is now reserved for private-use applications
