DNS: Why not dynamic DNS?

In topic: Why not dynamic DNS?

The Gandi FAQ states very simply that Gandi does not and will not
support dynamic DNS.

Dynamic DNS is a useful service (especially for those of us behind a
retail DSL connection). Personally I use it to access the ssh server
running on my internal network. From my perspective it would appear to
be a service similar to others that Gandi does provide, such as email
and web redirection or generic DNS management.

Of course we could create an account with dyndns.com and add their
nameserver to the Gandi DNS records.  But since we are already paying
for our service with Gandi, and since Gandi is already handling all out
other domain and DNS business, it would seem to make sense that it also
handle dynamic DNS, so that everything is managed from the one place.

Is it possible to ask Gandi to explain why it does not support dynamic
DNS?
