We really don't need 50 different suffixes, it just makes shit more confusing.
I like the idea of removing domain extensions and just having domains as the extension. I read an article about it a few months ago and it seems like the next logical step.
We could replace mail.google.com with mail.google. It's easier to remember and is the next logical step in domains. I've yet to see an argument against it.
