Barry, the "refresh_callback" warning message is a diagnostic for the
refresh_callback() routine, which didn't even *exist* in BIND 8. There is no "old
wording" which applies, because there is no equivalent part of the code. Mark has
already explained that Nominum intends to put "friendly" error messages into
BIND 9. But it's just not at the top of the priority list. You can argue about
priorities all you want, but I think it's a little disingenuous to say "simply
reuse[] the old wording".
