Parent article: ISC releases BIND 10 1.2, renames it, and turns it over to community

Maybe an article highlighting the changes from 9 to 10 possibly with an "why should I upgrade?" section could be made for LWN?

Rise and Fall of BIND 10

The problem with BIND 10 (now Bundy) is that there is a lot of missing functionality. :(

One of the reasons that BIND 10 had to be renamed is that it's not "Even More BIND 9" - it has quite a few differences. We had originally planned on taking a year to make a nice smooth set of conversion utilities, but had budget shortfalls and a lot of technical debt that made this impossible.

So, basically if you are a running a DNS secondary or a master authoritative server that doesn't rely on BIND 9 DNSSEC re-signing, then Bundy can probably fit your needs.

We'll see how far we are able to go with the volunteer model...

But I'll see if LWN is interested in an article based on the talk or just related to this topic, after I've given the presentation. :)
