ISC Ends BIND Development and Renames it Bundy

in internet on 2014-04-17 23:29 (#3J2)

Today, ISC released the last version of BIND 10 , ending the organization's development work and signalling that no further updates will be made to the source pool.

The Bundy Project is currently working with the ISC to move the code to GitHub to continue the program's development.

BIND 9 is the most popular DNS server in use today.

I think ISC is actually only ending development of BIND 10, and it is this tree that is being renamed to Bundy and transferred to GitHub. As ISC notes in the article, BIND 9 is a separate project for which there is no mention of development ending, so I assume this to mean they will continue to develop BIND 9.

Now I'm really confused - will BIND9 and BUNDY then be "competing" products in the open source sense? Will they address different issues or usage scenarios? Also, even if the name has the magic combination of letters, 'Bundy' is an awful name that only evokes Al Bundy of Married with Children fame. How about BooNDoggle? BorNDangerous? BerkeleyNextgenDaemon? Just a starting point.

So, you have never heard of Ted Bundy?

I like where BerkeleyNextgenDaemon was going. How about BerkeleyExtensibleNextgenDaemon(BEND) :)

I'm assuming it's the same for isc-dhcp server. It looks like Bind 10 had a dhcp server bundled in there, which is now broken out into a project called Kea. I got rid of Bind years ago, so I'm more curious about whatever Kea is.
