NLNet Labs Ending Dev of drill(1)

I just came across this blog post which seems to indicate that the 
drill(1) utility from NLNet is ending development in favor of a rust 
based tool:

https://blog.nlnetlabs.nl/domain-dns-building-blocks-for-rust-application-developers/

https://fosstodon.org/@nlnetlabs/111964417192522741

I was curious if a) anyone was aware of this and b) will we maintain a 
version of drill(1) in base or revert to including dns/bind-tools in base?

not trying to start a "rust in base" discussion, just curious if i 
should start making plans now to have a replacement for this tool at my 
site.
