[net-dns-users] Release candidate for Net::DNS 0.82

[Dick Franks]

Olafur,

Olaf Kolkman and I discussed this prickly topic a few years ago.  The
decision reached then was to leave the distributions as they now are.
Nothing has changed to invalidate the arguments on which that decision was
based.

In many ways it would be far more convenient if the two distributions could
be integrated.  It certainly would make maintenance and regression testing
significantly easier.

However, there are at least 30 countries where the import and/or use of
strong encryption is illegal, can only be done under license, or where the
legal position is uncertain.

Combining the two distributions would either completely preclude the use of
Net::DNS in some territories or expose users to the risk of prosecution
because the distribution contains illegal content even if not required for
whatever it is they are attempting to do.

Packaging Net::DNS::SEC as an optional extension maximises the availability
of Net::DNS and ensures that enabling the cryptographic components requires
a deliberate installation step for which the individual user then becomes
legally responsible.
