It's not speculation, it's the reason for PowerDNS's popularity and why
it's taking market share away from bind.  I've run into multiple hosting
providers who use PowerDNS as a hidden master and bind slaves on the
edges because they need a DNS system which will integrate with their
provisioning systems.

I'm interested in bind10, to employ for both my company's DNS and
possibly for PG infrastructure, specifically because of this.  I had
already been looking at PowerDNS until someone mentioned that bind10 was
planned to support SQL backends.  We already track DNS information in
our provisions systems (both for my company and for PG infra), hence the
need for an open schema.

It's not a guess.
