I fail to see what problem this tries to solve, since the only change
from the current behavior is the deactivation at expiration+10 days
by Registry in this proposal.

Registrars can put domain names on REGISTRAR-HOLD (thus deactivating
them) at any time, including at expiration, 10 days later, or
whatever.

Thus, I do not understand why letting the Registry do it provides any
goods.
