Just to be clear, we need to be slightly careful about the word
"supported". We have a number of systems that we build and test on,
which now includes Fedora 17.

We added Fedora into the mix because it tends to do things slightly
differently from, say, Debian-style distributions, and also because it
tends to have bleeding-edge software (unlike RHEL, supported versions
of which still have versions of BIND that pre-date RFC 4033/4034/4035,
since those standards are "only" 7 years old now).

To give proper support for a platform means that we need to be able to
use the systems to reproduce and diagnose user issues, as well as
having it integrated into our development.

Actual supported platforms will have to be determined by the ISC
support team. Right now BIND 10 is not recommended for production, so
we don't actually support *any* systems, if you mean "supported" in the way that management usually means.

Cheers,
