Thanks for sharing this Mark. Very interesting to see how new TLDs are treated.

This is the main point.  I don't know anyone who's blocking new TLDs
just for being new, other than a few hobbyists.  But if you think
about it for a few minutes, the only people who want bulk TLDs are
crooks, for spam or for phish and malware landing pages.  It is
entirely reasonable to block an otherwise little used TLD if you see a
spike of abuse from it.

R's,
