i guess so and i am pretty sure i removed it because problems with failing service starts and since named works for many months with the systemd-unit below on personal as also 4 production servers i can say for sure that nobody needs this pid-files
they are mostly for old sysvinit-scripts because
they need to know which process to send the SIGTERM
by stop a service, nobody needs this in the systemd
wolrd because systemd knows the pid and for forked
services even the pid's of any sub-process
in case of forking prcoesses they may be the REASON
for troubles because the PID may change at startup
in my opinion any maintainer should look if he
is using pid-file directives
