Does the lifecycle matter much, though?
Kind of like a carfax report. Tells you whether a vehicle you’re buying has been in an accident before (if it has, the value goes down because maybe there’s some latent issue that isn’t obvious at the time of purchase)
It would be nice if ICANN had some equivalent of a carfax for domains, perhaps even with a requirement that registrars expose at time of purchase whether a domain has been misused in the past (and who the prior owners were, or at the very minimum what the historical DNS records were).
Basically you want to avoid buying a “lemon” domain by accident.
I place zero fault/blame on “powerful entities” maintaining lists of domains used for spam/scams. How else will we protect grandma?
