Yes, that is precisely my point, the preceding sentences to what you
quoted...

"That's not a good idea: any environment larger than a home network or SME
that relies on bind will not find it easy to migrate. It's one thing asking
people to tolerate a 2min inconvenience to make a choice to install bind
from ports (when they've can also choose bind or, say, djbdns, etc), it's
quite another to suggest to them they should be using different software,
essentially on a whim."
