Your approach is a superior approach to others advocating "roll your
own" because if for no other reason most folks' skill sets can not be
compared to those who "do this every day" vs. once a release for the
important stuff like BIND et al.

In short, not enough GOOD GDP/GNP results from "roll your own."
"Rolling your own" is "working harder, not smarter."

As far as "providing current services" e.g., I can't recall how long
it has been since I attended the first ISC meeting at NANOG to discuss
DNSSEC and yet it would surely be interesting to determine how many of
the world's DNS servers remain open to exploits solved years ago.

Along those lines, I'll let

speak for itself.
