 >THIS IS THE WEIRD CHANGE. Adding in a new array of 'special' emails and
 trademarks they're allowed to use. I was not able to test this fully! The
 idea is that 'If you're Yoast, you can use Yoast.' I do not envision there
 will be a lot of need for this, but it will calm down Automattic a touch
 :) I would love a second opinion on this part.

 The domain name industry addressed a similar problem for new TLDs a decade
 ago. Although it's definitely overkill, I will share their approach in
 case this becomes very necessary :).

 When submitting domain applications that included trademarks, the user
 needed to provide a Signed Mark Data (SMD) file. The SMD file was a signed
 hash approved by a governing body - The Trademark Clearing House. The hash
 included all the variations of the trademark that applied. If the
 trademarks in the SMD file matched the domain name - Good to go!
