People don't seem upset about not having a webserver, IMAP/POP daemon,

I believe the primary reason these things are not in the base system is
that they have plenty of dependencies, with possibly conflicting licenses
etc.
If the concern is over the rare case when you absolutely
need a DNS recursor and there are none you can reach I suppose we should
just import Unbound.
There are many and good reasons to include an fully featured name server,
or at least full recursive resolver. For example, for properly supporting
DNSSEC.
We could in theory remove the BIND's authoritative name server
executable... if that is attracting the SAs.
The justification "reduce the number of SA's", that is, "the bad PR" is
probably not enough. Going that direction, we should consider Comrade
Stalin's maxim "FreeBSD exists, there are problems, here is the solution --
no FreeBSD, no problems!" :-)

Then , there exists a new problem :
"There is no FreeBSD ..."
Thank you very much .
Exactly. Either strip everything out of the base
including things like perl or admit that there is more
to a modern OS than just kernel and admin tools.
