Agreed. Personally, I respect software diversity in a very deep
way and acknowledge that the one and only dns server standard
is a bad thing for everyone. The thing is that there's been no
success in creating an open-source alternative that works. I
also respect djb, but his outright arrogance makes the users of
his software suffer.
