What I find ironic is that here: https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/blob/main/README.md
the very first line says: "BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is a complete, highly portable implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocol." If this were truly the case, BIND would work on Windows (or any other platform that doesn't have a "u" in it's name) with minimal effort and would not require specific funding to adapt it to any particular platform. Can we please have a realistic definition of what BIND is and what it's objectives are? I for one would be more likely to contribute to the development of a non-platform-specific, portable BIND than a single-platform-specific one. On the other hand, if it has already been decided that BIND can only realistically be implemented in the *u* arena and will rely on facilities only available in this arena, then shouldn't this be stated clearly instead of also declaring that it is highly portable?
