Unbound vs. Bind

I have wondered why Unbound replaced BIND in the base system. I particularly don't care for Unbound since I cut my DNS teeth on ISC's BIND software.

So why the change? Is it because Unbound is a caching only DNS resolver or was there another reason?

That's basically it. It was also a bit of a pain to keep BIND updated in the base. And since most people don't need a full fledged DNS server it was decided to remove BIND from the base and replace it with a "simple" caching only service.
