Dear Hickory DNS contributor community, is anyone considering creating a plugin system for Hickory DNS? Last time I check with @bluejekyll there is no official plan nor near future prioritization for a plugin/extension system?

We are talking about plugin system to support plugins. A few useful plugins
I can think of should Hickory have plugin system: Such as a simple file
mapping to decentralized storage protocols. Or DNSSEC support for wildcard
subdomain etc.

I am unlikely to work on this. My goal is to provide a very modular library interface, and I'm happy to accomodate further improvements to the library interface to support particular use cases that aren't well supported now.
