TLDR: The Designate team would like to deprecate the backend agent
framework and the agent based backends due to lack of development and
design issues with the current implementation. The following backends
would be deprecated: Bind9 (Agent), Denominator, Microsoft DNS
(Agent), Djbdns (Agent), Gdnsd (Agent), and Knot2 (Agent).
Hi Michael,

Thanks for this.

Now, if we're going to get rid of the code soonish, can we just get rid 
of the unit tests, rather than attempting to monkey-patch dnspython? 
That feels safer, no? With Eventlet, I have the experience that monkey 
patching is dangerous and often leads to disaster.

Cheers,
