Point being that government is messy and exists to cover _all_ cases, not the common case.
- Larrikin 2y agoThem having their own nearly random URLs that doesn't differentiate them is not a better solution.
- duped 2y agoI don't think they're "nearly random", they're just inconsistent. And it's a better solution because it works today and doesn't require a central authority to manage (and when you're talking about the tens of thousands of distinct government bodies in the country that central management overhead is the thing to optimize)
- kube-system 2y agoIf the problem is inconsistency, and you want to fix that, you'd need to propose a solution that can be consistent, otherwise you still have the same problem.
