There was previous mention of replacing it, but it seems to have a new maintainer moving it forward and some pre-releases currently. ddlicnet releases
Some of the mentioned improvements:
- Added support for Cloudflare API tokens
- Added support for OVH DynHost.
- Added support for ClouDNS.
- Added support for dinahosting.
- Added support for Gandi LiveDNS.
Might be worth trying to add a newer version to 1.4 earlier in the cycle. If I had to guess it would probably be a lot easier than replacing ddlicent with something else.
