I've just got to ask... I am seeing news that BIND WILL BE patched with
this kind of support in it.
Is this a sponsored patch, or is it just a random person posting a patch
- that if applied would have this functionality

It is worth noting that if we are to "pass judgement against" Verisign
there are at least half-dozen other TLDs that blazed the trail. We
just overlooked them because of their size as compared to .NET and
.COM.
when people started beating on my phone ringer about wildcards yesterday
evening, and screaming for patches to bind to somehow make it all
better, i asked "but other tld's do this, what's the big deal?" as near
as i can figure it, the problem is one of expectation. if someone signs
up for .nu they know there'll be a wildcard there before they sign, and
they can take appropriate precautions (like only using it for web or
e-mail, and not naming hosts under that tld). the expectations for .com
and .net to not have wildcards were all set many years ago, and it's the
violation of those expectations that's got people angry enough to
publish patchware about it.
