Oddly enough I think of myself as constructive and friendly. :) 
However I can't make a default configuration that fits everyone's 
needs. I can only do what I can to make it safe by default.

Of course the two alternatives you listed are good ones, and I 
encourage my clients to investigate them for their environments even 
if they continue using BIND since IMO diversity is a good thing, helps 
improve resilience, etc.
