I didn't actually forget, I am replying to a bind bug report afterall.

However, your point is interesting and valid. However, I expect every
DNS server has its own murky format that would cause some difficulties
(and some even store their configs in databases). Even though there is
an RFC that defines the configuration file format, that doesn't mean
name resolvers follow it. Creating such a root hits package could be a
challenge and would likely require cooperation from the various package
developers at which point its questionable if a different package is
a worthwhile effort as each package maintainer could just build this
update into their own package, suited for their own package's individual
peculiarities.
