Only bind 9.19+ supports OpenSSL provider API. bind 9.19+ did change
internal APIs in such way that bind-dydnb-ldap is now cannot be built
and has to be rewritten. This work is in progress but far from being
finished.
```

So the delay would be that FreeIPA is part of Fedora Server which has
existing installations using DNSSEC. Until bind-dynnb-ldap is ported to use
the newer APIs then upgrades will remove functionality and possibly break
infrastructure which is using DNSSEC.

Does that better explain where I think the train of thought is going?
