Yes, it is going to be pluggable but it doesn't have any API for modules, yet. Upstream is currently busy with work on core DNS/DHCP daemons. But they design bind10 with plugins in mind. Btw about transition time, it definitely won't happen in ~1 year. I guess transition can take ~5 years, so you don't have to bother that bind9 will dissapear during next 5 - 10 Fedora releases...
