syslogd starts before named. If you specify a hostname in
syslog.conf, you need other name servers to resolve it. (We don't
specify a hostname there any more, but someone else could.)
Why does syslogd start before named? Well, named syslogs. Yay
circular dependencies.
As for (3), when I talked with Jeff about this, he was okay with
NetBSD-Athena machines continuing to have w20ns and strawb listed.
