With my security officer hat on, I support this change.  It is not
suitable for everyone because of the interface binding problem, but
since named requires configuration before it can be used, slightly
changing the nature of that configuration process for some people is a
reasonable thing to do providing it's documented.

It's well past time we did this, and if there's ever another remote
hole in bind8, we'll all thank Kuriyama-san for doing it.
