I think it is mostly a question of legacy constraints.
I.e. with a user base as gigantic as there is for BIND9 they have to be really, really
ultra careful not to change expected behaviour unless it is clearly "a bug".
Look at the perhaps most obvious difference, BIND9 being by default both recursive and
authoritative. That's clearly identified as, umm, not a great thing. But it really
doesn't matter whether that is good or bad, because ISC just Can Not change the
default, because that would cause stuff to break and users to be upset.
So new implementations like Knot-DNS really has a much simpler situation when it comes to
"do it right" vs. "do it the way it was done 15 years ago".

Johan,
I know bind maybe wrong, but they are the main dns server
out there. I do not wish to use bind as you have a much better server
but I would like Knot to behave like bind when it comes to Glue records.
They day bind stops delivering the Glue records we can turn it off. I am
adverse to risk in this situation and I prefer to follow the herd.
I am not asking you to change how the default Knot works. Would it be
possible that you give an option which you can highly discourage people
to use which allows to copy bind's behavior?
Regards,
Maren.
