+DEVELOPMENT VISION
+
+Note: ldns has been in maintenance mode since 2020, with no plans for major
+features. We will continue to make occasional use of ldns in an experimental
+setting, such as during an IETF Hackathon to build a proof of concept for an
+Internet Draft.
+
+The natural successor to the ldns library is the domain library for Rust:
+https://github.com/NLnetLabs/domain
+
+We offer drop-in replacements for commonly used ldns example tools in dnst:
