The the unbound port existed years before it was decided that unbound
should replace bind in the base system.
If you want the port to change, send a PR for the port so I won't forget this.

Not really. For a start, the port has a different default configuration
then the one in base.

I don't agree. The term dns is too generic. People are often running
dfferent nameservers on the same machine, as example: authoritative
