bind was in src/ from 4.4BSD_Lite to 9.2-RELEASE. No warning of pending
removal in a prior release.  Alternatives existed, but removal was forced
& botched, too late before release, (inconsistencies were still being
reported between src & ports very recently).  Lack of management & planning.

Cheers,
Julian
