Zhifeng Hu's "this is a very basic tools". Removing src/contrib/bind9 from FreeBSD-10 will get criticised as: "Calls itself a server OS, but no name server out of the box!" Please resist periodic urges to strip src/ towards just a tool set capable of rebuilding itself. Tossing expected tools (even if a port is more up to date & secure) will annoy users, & potential immigrants from other Unixes may try then toss FreeBSD.
