Even though about 1/3 of my FreeBSD installs need to run DNS servers,
I'd be happy to see it removed from the base system.
My understanding was that the version kept in the base system is what
the committers and dev team consider the most stable, secure and
compatible release. This, of course, would not necessarily meant the
latest (see OpenSS*).

I hadn't though about that, but I believe I'd support it.
Most (I'm guessing here) FreeBSD systems don't run a DNS server.
Those that need to could install a port.
BIND seems to be in the same catagory as sendmail, contributed
software that many people prefer to replace with something more
simple.
