Core Rust infrastructure is frequently hosted on the .rs ccTLD. Some of these sites could be used to drive supply chain attacks if their domains were ever compromised. .rs is operated by an NGO, but ultimately controlled by the government of Serbia.
Do there exist plausible future chains of events that could lead to some future government of Serbia suspending, or redirecting, Rust project/community sites hosted under .rs? Does the Rust community have contingency plans for this hypothetical?
