I have read a lot that, Goog in particular discounts backlinks on a newly registered site, that has just expired. I have also read a lot about if the “Whois info” changes after expiry, again classified as a 100% new site.
Google recently became a registrar w/o plans of offering registrations. My bet is they were after the zone files to be able to track whois changes and tighten up on weeding out cases of expired domain snatching and spammers that keep building one network after the other.
I could be totally wrong here, but thats how I see it.
