I've barely cared for names until viewing the name sales section and realizing their values. Early 2017 is the estimated time for the 2017 name clear up, who else is looking forward to it?
I don't know about a name list but that would be useful. If there isn't then there won't be a group of people targeting a specific name on the list which makes it easier overall to grab.
Didn't even know they were releasing names up until reading this thread. Is it confirmed, though? Because I've been hearing this for years and it's yet to happen.
Also, agree with you on the thing about not being interested up until now. Just recently saw the names section and there's good profits to be made.
