I gave a clear answer. If there are any pieces missing it's up to Simon
to follow up with Dag-Erling.

Have you seriously not been paying attention to the numerous reasons why
BIND in the base is no longer a good fit?

In any case, importing ldns/unbound is a different question from
removing BIND. Not only do I not see any reason not to move forward on
the former, I think that once people see a solid implementation in place
already it will ease the fears about removing BIND.
