I didn't say it was unimportant, unused, or un-anything else. I said
that we already have a solution for it, which doesn't need to stay in
the base.

In fact, no base BIND version supports DNS64 robustly. 9.8 (in
9-RELEASE) supports it weakly. If you have an enterprise network that
relies on DNS64 you're infinitely better off with BIND 9.9, which hasn't
been (and isn't likely to be) imported.
