The "local" keyword enables server-side support for `nsupdate -l`, which makes dynamic updates really easy to use because you don't have to worry about TSIG keys. (My production primary server pushes zone changes using roughly `nsdiff | nsupdate -l`.) But `update-policy local` actually means something kind of complicated and subtle and what it means changed a bit last year to address some odd edge cases (https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-01599). I still need to delete some config complication that was a result of this: my primary server zone clauses have: allow-update { !{ !localhost; any; }; key local-ddns; }; which is an alternative spelling of `update policy local` that's slightly safer than the pre-2018 meaning.
