  I'm really not interested in getting into a flamewar about this.  Suffice it
to say that I do not agree with some of the assertions made by the djbdns
people.  But I will comment on a couple of things:

  No, I didn't look at djbdns too closely.  I based my opinion on the
information available from the djbdns web sites.  It was a quick and cursory
examination.  I believe I made that clear.  You are free to take my opinion
and do whatever you like with it, but it remains just my opinion.  :-)

> It *does* support TCP, if you really think you need it:
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  That very comment exemplifies the single biggest issue I have with djbdns.

<DOGMA> It is not the job of the implementor to decide whether or not I need a
feature. </DOGMA>

  I do not like software that tells me to go jump in a lake.
