Perhaps not for UBE/UCE, but at least for botnets, the domain name is quite
often the single point of failure these days.

At least some ccTLDs (.hk for example) have developed a massive infestation
of botnet domains. And they have then taken steps to clean this infestation
off.

Individual registrars, rather. Now, if Moniker would suddenly disappear,
there'll be a substantial chunk of spammer domains (not just their usual
stock in trade of tasted / parked etc domains) that would go down the drain
