Why is .mu the only one not DNSSEC-signed ? Why can't I get DNSSEC
protection despite having a DNSSEC-aware resolver at home/work when I
want to do online transaction with ib.mcb.mu ?
Sure the service can be bought, but that does NOT solve the underlying
problem of arbitrary price fixing that the registrars experience, the
screw up of gov.mu by asking for huge amount of arbitrary money, and
the multiple outages of the .mu ccTLD DNS services, that SM documented
extensively. You ignored SM's work. You decided to focus only on this
small part, and CLAIM that everything is good with .mu.
technically speaking, .mu is very weak, and is NOT aligned with Best Practices.

My previous message was not meant to be racist, and I apologise if it
hurts you. Rather, it was meant to illustrate an example. Since I was
14 years old, the problem of the .mu ccTLD management was present.
This is a problem that negatively impacted (and still impacts)
Mauritius.
We have had foreign consultants who came and left, and claimed that
they will solve the problem. This hasn't happen. The problem is still
here today.
