Actually, no feature is being removed - I don't know where you got  
that.   But in any case, this is a classic example of the situation  
where no matter what you do, someone doesn't get what they want.   You  
seem to have concluded, based on no evidence, that what most people  
want most is a less-stable unique identifier that allows them to track  
devices by the sticker on the side.

In my personal experience, this is an edge case.   Yes, there are  
people who want to do this, but they are by no means the majority of  
users.   And we have a solution that addresses their needs.   I don't  
know how easy it is in the ISC server (I suspect it's pretty easy) but  
it's definitely easy in the Nominum server.   So essentially, from a  
protocol perspective, this is a non-problem.   If it is a problem from  
your perspective, it's one that's easily solved in software.

Why is this so difficult to understand?   ;')
