dns-01 is just a challenge; which api or dns update system should nginx support then? Some API, AFXR, or UPDATE?

I think this is kinda the OPs point, nginx an http server, why should it be messing with dns? There are plenty of other acme clients to do this with ease

I mean, you just repeated my explanation why supporting dns-01 in nginx isn't straightforward has http-01. I've explained why dns-01 challenge is still useful and might be required for some users.

I misread your first paragraph, and was more responding to the second that I took as supporting the adding the dns implementation in reply to the OP.

It may still be required by some users, but I don't think that it makes sense for nginx

So it makes sense. However, this isn't a future that will be not used by paid users, and F5 seems to be opposing making OSS version users lives better.
