Thank you.

I think we would need to discuss what items of per-zone statistics
should be collected. I think we may start to implement comparatively
easy ones.

I think we need to discuss more about how to actually configure
per-zone statistics. However shall we separate the technical topics
from this thread?

Yes, but we found other things to do while we are working on #2252
before working on these xfrin tickets.  Regarding this, Jinmei-san
pointed out in the later email.

We would at first focus on the above tasks and related tasks.

I think most of xfrout statistics was implemented. But there might be
some problems to be improved after #2252 as well as the above xfrin
tickets (#2274, #2300). BTW we have some issues related to unit tests
for b10-stats as well.  We will also work for such improvement tasks
related to statistics as much as possible.
