I think that if the project gains in popularity , support 
and the community grows.. the domain will be useful, not 
just a feature but a powerful way of improving its 
distibution and easy remembering of the website.

There are always some "silly and wishing to make money 
stupids around the world" willing to register domains with 
some economical future.

A couple of weeks ago I was looking for a domain for a small 
tech company and I found a lot of domains registered 
followed by a "I sell this domain"... Then loosing the 
domain will be a real pity.  Some successful outsource 
projects turn into a "sponsorship + technical assistance" 
business.  Check MySQL for example :) :)

I don't think Ktechlab will have such a nice luck as its 
niche is much much much smaller but... who knows.

I vote for preserving the domain and may be registering the 
.com and .net too.
