Hi Sharada,

To answer your question:

Because C11 that includes stdatomic is 13 years old now, and we want the BIND 9 
code base to be modernized. You can’t expect the C codebases to be stuck in the 
past.

You can always provide your own stdatomic.h shims or even stdatomic.h 
implementation, you know your legacy platforms better than us. Nothing is 
stopping you. But it’s you (the legacy platform backed up by large corporation) 
who should carry the costs, not us (the open source with limited resources).
