Without it unbound-control omits num.answer.rcode.<something> metrics when 
they're zero. So you get this:

num.answer.rcode.NOERROR=93
num.answer.rcode.NXDOMAIN=50
num.answer.rcode.nodata=24

instead of this:

num.answer.rcode.NOERROR=93
num.answer.rcode.FORMERR=0
num.answer.rcode.SERVFAIL=0
num.answer.rcode.NXDOMAIN=50
num.answer.rcode.NOTIMPL=0
num.answer.rcode.REFUSED=0
num.answer.rcode.nodata=24

If you've a metrics system that knows the difference between 'absent' and 
'zero' this is troublesome. Rather than definitive metric points at zero 
telling you everything's working well you have potentially long gaps in data 
points which can mistakenly be interpreted as a fault in the metrics 
gathering/publishing systems.
