Taking a hint from '(We already have too many choices on DNS, we need 
less not more)', I went and had a look to see how hard it would be to 
remove 'BIND_FLATFILE' from the python code.

This would be fairly easy, except I think we would have to drop support 
for os_level 2000, this is because of this code in sambadns.py:

     if os_level == DS_DOMAIN_FUNCTION_2000:
         # Populating legacy dns
         logger.info("Populating CN=MicrosoftDNS,CN=System,%s" % domaindn)
         fill_dns_data_legacy(samdb, names.domainsid, domaindn, 
dnsdomain, site,
                              hostname, hostip, hostip6, dnsadmins_sid)
