Back on January 3 James Woods said we'd get some guidance later in January
on the "upcoming" availability of the expiring names service.
I stopped holding my breath when I read that... seems like it's yet another
OpenSRS feature/service that won't see the light of day till well after
it's expected release.
Pity too, nice names expire and/or drop every day and the Snap/NetSol,
Dotster, and Pool folks are making good $$ at it.
