In addition to the points I recently brought up about NameCoin, Fusl
also discovered the following article where it appears one of their own
developers criticizes OpeNIC directly for making their .bit domains
available to our users, however nobody from their group have ever
contacted us to say there were any problems with our implementation or
even ask us to stop peering with them.

The previous discussion on this topic was short-lived, but seemed to
produce little in the way of support or dissent for .bit domains,
possibly meaning that there is simply very little interest in .bit overall.
At this time I would like to call for a vote on whether we should keep
peering with NameCoin or drop all support. The vote can be found here:
https://wiki.opennic.org/votings/drop_namecoin
Due to the low volume of chat and emails at this time of year, I have
set the vote for a two-week period, ending on June 25th. Hopefully that
will give everyone interested a chance to weigh in. For those not
familiar with the voting page, please use your OpenNIC user account
credentials (the same one you use on the servers page or to sign in to
be.libre) to log in to the wiki in order to cast your vote. Select if
you want to keep or drop .bit, then click the grey "Your Vote" button.
