Agreed, so changed.

This is about a new task for in memory data source.

I don't know what you mean by "static", but I suspect the initial
implementation will be largely similar to BIND 9's in memory DB in
this sense (note: this is orthogonal to which data structure we use
internally).  So, we'll use some kind of "zone (master) file" which
will be explicitly loaded by (e.g.) b10-auth.

Maybe you're confused about this topic with generic data sources that
use database backend such as sqlite3?  I'm specifically talking about
the in-memory data source, and I suspect the very initial version
begins with separate code logic (that is, it won't use the generic
data source API, yet).
