Reasons to prevent auction of linux urls (Score 2)

One possible reason could be that auctioning off these urls would create a artifically high price for linux urls. If there is a high price on the urls, it would encourage people to buy whatever varients they can think of, and sit on them until someone else wants them - which is not a good thing, and something I think that this auction would have encouraged. IF Linus keeps control of the what urls can be used and by whom, then we don't have to worry about url squatters.
