If you want to avoid lock in, someone with 30 years experience should know
about Linux from Scratch and the reason why bind is packaged this way.
For example most users do not need to run a caching or authoritative DNS
server, they only need to resolve DNS.

I'm glad I get to wait 10 years.  Gentoo was bad enough -- I have no interest in LfS.
I've written a few small OS-en myself and learned a lot doing it, but I got paid for that :o)
