Hi, I am looking to improve my programming/go skills and want to try to implement a DNS provider for DNSControl.
I noticed libdns has an implementation for this specific provider already. Does it make sense at all to (re)use this or would this introduce unwanted dependencies?
In my mind it suits the "Always favor simplicity" rule in the code style guide.

Let me know your thoughts.

Regards,
Alwyn

I'm not familiar with libdns but it looks interesting.  I took a cursory look at the README and it doesn't seem to support all DNS record types.  That could be an issue.  On the other hand, there are plenty of providers that only support a small set of record types.

Give it a try!
