+ BIND version 9 is a major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the
+underlying BIND architecture. This re-architecting of BIND was
+necessitated by the expected demands of:
+
+ - Domain name system growth, particularly in very large
+ zones such as .COM
+ - Protocol enhancements necessary to securely query and
+ update zones
+ - Protocol enhancements necessary to take advantage of
+ certain architectural features of IP version 6
+
+ The 9.0.0 release, and this release candidate, is aimed at
+early adopters and those who wish to make use of new 9.0
+features, such as IPv6 and DNSSEC secure resolution support.
