Why would I get downvoted for that? It's a serious concern. It's missing modern and often important features unless you use unofficial patchsets, and some missing entirely (NSEC3). And then there are all the forks like dbndns from Debian, N-DJBDNS, etc...

Specifically, what's bad about tinydns? Compared to BIND, it's a veritable Fort Knox of security.

DNSSEC isn't a requirement for most people, and I'd wager a lot of people consider DNSSEC more harmful than beneficial.

I can't actually downvote but I imagine you got downvoted because your comment reeked of bikeshedding (regardless of whether you intended it that way or not).
