I'm just thinking that from a layman's perspective named_flags="" doesn't make as much sense as named=YES if all you want to do is start named.
The way it is right now seems more like monkey patching from the days before OpenBSD became popular. I acknowledge the whole "it's been like this for ages", but it's 2012 - it's time to make some power moves. If OpenBSD was on Git / at GitHub, youngins like me would have patched this baby up a long time ago.
