Then you should absolutely know that pending deletion is not a black swan event. Can you talk to someone with some data in this space? You will find pending deletion -> restore is a surprisingly common pattern.

As to govt agencies - sure, many use .org and .com domains routinely. These do not get special treatment - and I do generalize my experience from .com and .org to these govt run websites without hesitation.

Despite ideas - just because a public agency is using these domains does not make them magic.

to pick two domains within 10 seconds.

I'm going to stop here. Despite your claims that folks don't go into pending deletion - they do. I am responding to top comment - people fail to renew their domains on time routinely. I've seen it happen with some surprise in govt agencies (ie, someone in a dept spins up a website, and renews when someone complains its not working and they get permission to spend the money to renew - which is not instantaneous even for small purchases) as well.

All my points stand and I remain unconvinced by your claims that these govt agency websites can't expire (they do routinely), that pending deletion is a black swan event (it is not) or that folks don't fail to renew on a timely basis (they do frequently).
