Re: [arch-general] Why bind-tools was merged into bind package?

I can understand that packagers want to make things easy, but not in this case. I cannot have a full service installed with a new user created, only host, dig and nslookup commands. The splitted package bind and bind-tools had this option, but now I must install a service that I do not need which is annoying.

There is any way to reconsider this?

If you want only host, dig and nslookup, can't you leave the named service disabled? Or am I totaly misunderstanding you?
