We, ISC, don't know when BIND 9 will stop being supported so I fail to see how FreeBSD can *know* this. We have committed to 9.9.x being supported through June 2017. I suspect the last 9.X will also be supported at least that long as well. BIND 10 needs to be a functional replacement of BIND 9 before we can set a EoL on the BIND 9 project. BIND 10 isn't at that point yet. BIND 8 to BIND 9 took about 5 years after BIND 9 was a functional replacement for BIND 8 before we could actually declare it dead. I suspect BIND 9 to BIND 10 will take a similar time scale. libbind has just moved to NetBSD. Being a OSS there is nothing to stop someone picking up supporting BIND 9 when we, ISC, finally stop supporting it. > Keep in mind that Unbound is not planned to be a permanent addition to > base either.
