If the domain has ever been used for anything, there are serious security reasons to never reuse it.
For example, imagine your recovery email address for something important is bob@something.gb. If 'gb' is ever reassigned to someone else, they can now get access to anything ever registered at a gb address.
This is the reason things like gmail accounts are never recycled to another user. Early services like hotmail would recycle accounts, but it has since become an 'obviously bad idea'.
