From the same thread, the reply of Doug Barton, the OP (Original Poster):

Quote:
So first of all, yes Virginia, this was an April Fool's Day joke. To
both those for whom this post created a false sense of despair, and
(perhaps more importantly) to those for whom it created a false sense of
joy, my apologies. And for the record, everything from here on is
"just the facts."

I have always said that I will remove BIND from the base when there is
clear community consensus to do so, and I stand by that. However the
discussion always seems to go along the lines that this thread did. A
vocal group who say, "YES!" and then a lot of people who want the
resolution tools (dig, host, nslookup) to stay, and the other end of the
bell-shaped curve with those who like having the whole thing in the
base. Toss in a few choruses of "The whole base should be more modular,"
(a viewpoint with which I have a great deal of sympathy btw) and the
soup is pretty well complete.
