I proposed the spec to have catalog zone support added to Designate, see 
https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/designate-specs/+/849109.

Thanks for taking the time to discuss this at the PTG and for all your 
work that went into refining the spec.
May I kindly as how you feel about potential acceptance / merge of this 
spec in the near future?

1)  I did leave a few remarks in regards to the implementation though 
which we could discuss.

2)  I certainly am still a strong promoter of this standardized approach 
to distribute the list of zones to secondary servers as there already is 
native support in major DNS servers.
But I also believe having support for catalog zones already available 
while still working through the deprecation phase of the agent based 
backends would provide people with a new option to adapt their setups to.
And there is the option to not only use catalog zones within the actual 
secondary DNS server software, but to use it as source for some 
platform-specific provisioning code or agent to access the zone catalog.
