Not true, visit the site. It's full of good docs:
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html

It's the not the RFCs per se that djb thinks are foolish, but the horrid BIND 
hacks that end up in them. Standard should be program-agnostic, somehow BIND 
has become the standard. The whole DNS-BIND world is very political. 
Evaluated strictly on technical merits, BIND fails in every way. Its 
successful deployment is a testament to the skill of the people administering 
it.

Do not fear djbdns, it is lightweight, extremely fast, modular, and a heck of 
a lot easier to master than BIND. Anyone interested in some basic howtos, 
visit www.crossnodes.com, I wrote several articles on DNS and djbdns.
