DNS failed for delicious.com

DNS failed for delicious.com. Shouldn't this be del.icio.us?

$ git grep delicious.com
background.js:          // we also need to make sure this is OUR popup, as opposed to the live delicious.com
background.js:                  "*://*.delicious.com/api/v1/posts/addoredit*",
background.js:                  "*://*.delicious.com/api/v1/posts/delete*"
background.js:          deliciousUrl = c.deliciousUrl || "https://delicious.com/save?v=5&noui&url=",
manifest.json:          "http://delicious.com/*",
manifest.json:          "http://feeds.delicious.com/*",
manifest.json:          "*://*.delicious.com/api/v1/posts/addoredit*",
manifest.json:          "*://*.delicious.com/api/v1/posts/delete*",

I downloaded the extension changed the hard coded urls to the correct del.icio.us, and things work again.

From Wikipedia - Delicious has been acquired, sold, resold, re-acquired, etc etc etc and the name has reverted back to it's roots: "On September 6, 2007, Schachter announced the website's name would change to "Delicious" when the site would be redesigned. The new design went live on July 31, 2008. In January 2016, changes to the website were announced, including a move back to "del.icio.us". On April 24, 2016, Delicious transitioned back to 'del.icio.us'."

I had to manually change the url extensions too. What worries me is if it really still worth to invest in delicious. I saw three extensions in the Chrome Store and no one has been updated.
