I did not claim it has none of the _problems_ of rsh, I said it fixed
the _bugs_ in rsh, two very different things in this case. Just like
power/mara/djbdns avoid the bugs found in bind, they don't fix any of
the inherent problems of DNS itself.

I shouldn't have to make it obvious it just fixes bugs in the code,
that'd only reinforce the lack of distinction some people can make.
