This is just yet another "fuck you" to the Chagossians, for whom it could have been the next best thing to reparations if they were given control of it.

Yeah. The article explains whether the IANA rules come from, but this kind of thing happens so rarely that frankly it should be handled on a case by case basis, and in this case the .io domain should just be straight up reassigned to the people that it should always have been assigned to.
