The DoS plugins don't really solve the DoS issue. They can handle simple DoS traffic but only up to a certain point and only single IP (no DDoS). Proper DoS protection should be handled at a different point in the network stack, it should certainly not be part of a WAF.

Walkthrough
The dos-protection-modsecurity entry was removed from the registry and README. Its rule-ID range, 9514000–9514999, was marked as reserved in both registry formats. The category taxonomy example now pairs protection with oauth.
The JSON and YAML registries remove the dos-protection-modsecurity entry and reserve IDs 9514000–9514999. The README removes the plugin row. The category taxonomy example changes from dos-protection to oauth for protection.
The v2 DoS plugin retirement is consistent across the registry files, but the registry validation workflow currently fails because of a missing period in the YAML reservation note. Fix the note so the generated JSON matches the committed one, then the change is ready to merge.

Add the missing period to the reservation note.
The generated JSON omits the period after plugin, so the registry drift check fails. Add the period here to match registry.json.

The DoS plugins don't really solve the DoS issue. They can handle simple
DoS traffic but only up to a certain point and only single IP (no DDoS).
Proper DoS protection should be handled at a different point in the
network stack, it should certainly not be part of a WAF.
