I think they knew it was a bad idea so the 5 years was just to help prolong it before a lot of co.uk's and uk's get split and it's a mess.
It was an initial idea that morphed several times into an ultimate idea which attempted to satisfy and appease many self-interested parties while still attempting to offer something that seemed aesthetically more attractive/more modern/more relevant. I'll repeat, commercially it would have made sense to make the whole lot available at midnight FCFS or via an auction. Luckily for some, such as portfolio holders and perhaps small businesses, that was not how it ended up launching.
Is there really any point revisiting this because it can't be changed now?
