I disagree. I only run BIND on a few servers. None are exclusively 
nameservers. The hassle involved in properly setting up the chroot(8) 
would be a definite negative for me if I were considering a switch from 
GNU/Linux where most distros set it up that way "out of the box". That 
would be a definite "con" on my list of "pros and cons" especially if I 
read this thread.
