There's a very interesting document by Cloudflare linked to it that describes why this was not your typical "change nameserver and done" transition:<p><a href="https://indico.dns-oarc.net/event/48/contributions/1038/attachments/1005/1948/gov-transition-nsec-nsec3.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://indico.dns-oarc.net/event/48/contributions/1038/atta...</a>
I didn't even know .gov changed operators until this news, but looks like there was an earlier news that said it would happen:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34403055">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34403055</a> - Verisign Loses Prestige .Gov Contract to Cloudflare (2023-01-16)
Looks like it was for ~$7.2mm - <a href="https://sam.gov/opp/84b13553be9643f6bd143480a4567352/view" rel="nofollow">https://sam.gov/opp/84b13553be9643f6bd143480a4567352/view</a>
Does this mean every GOV page will now have the "pretend security check" interstitial that litter just about every page now? How do you even describe it, it's like they are vandalising the internet.
