Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
This sounds like a reasonable request, but I have a few reservations:
1) Why is this configuration option not default upstream? Does this mean
that they don't consider it ready for general default production use,
and if this is the case, why should Ubuntu's position be different?
2) Debian doesn't carry this flag. Is it worth Ubuntu diverging from
Debian here, or will Debian also be willing to carry this change? I'll
ping a Debian bind9 maintainer on IRC after I post this and ask the
question, but it would also make sense to file a bug in Debian if you
want to do that; I don't see this configure option in Debian's source
either.
3) Any security implications that I've not thought of? I'll ping an
Ubuntu security team member on IRC after I post this.
4) We're past feature freeze for Trusty. Is this change worthy of an
exception?
