For Linux maybe; but OpenBSD runs every daemon that it can in a chroot environment. Even on Linux systems, I often see 'named' running in a chroot. That's probably a sensible idea; ISC BIND is an extremely big and complex beast. OTOH, if you said that running as a non-root user is more important, I'd agree. Besides, to run a big package in a chroot environment, you'll need so many libraries and other bits that if anyone breaks in they'll have a pretty functional system anyway.
