I don't want to rain on your parade, and I know that this is likely to be contentious, but I would just like to ask all at ISC (and I know it isn't necessary, but I'll ask anyway) to remember that many of us out here in the Totally Untamed Internet do not like our infrastructure to be exciting. Long lists of new features give me personally the screaming heeby-jeebies. The last thing anyone needs is a zero-day BIND exploit in the wild. Solid and dependable is good. For the most part BIND is just that, and I can't heap enough praise on the people who gave all that to us. But I've noticed in the last few years that I've had to do more work to keep up with bind developments when a few things have escaped that perhaps should not have. I've wanted to say this for at least a year and I'm finally biting the bullet. Please do not consider this in any way to be any kind of a criticism. Maybe just a gentle nudge. Hopefully a contribution. Take your time. Get it right. No surprises please. If that means that new features aren't even compiled in unless I ask for them, that's fine by me. Many of us seek no excitement at all in our working day. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
