You don't get to comment on the discussion if you're not going to follow
the discussion. :)

It's not up to me to advocate for the inclusion of unbound in any case,
that's up to Dag-Erling.

My point is simple ... BIND is not a good fit for the FreeBSD base, and
it needs to go. The fact that we not only have a solid replacement for
it ready to go, but a willing maintainer, is a bonus.
