In 10.10 Apple replaced the then 12-year-old mDNSResponder, which does DNS (apart from other things) with "discoveryd", which had issues so they reverted the change.

Ugh - Airdrop which you have to disable in any decently dense Wifi environment

Hmm? As far as I know it's not "on" until you open an Airdrop window in Finder.
