getting rid of bind has various other advantages, such as no longer needing tcp to transfer "zone files" (Retarded concept to say the least) so there are no more "tcp issues" related to anycasting your authorative dns servers, as you can simply have them talk to your central database over their bgp session ip, which isn't anycasted, no more port 53/tcp therefore! yay, good riddance!
Performing zone transfers is not the only reason for 53/tcp; it can also be needed for long (>512 byte) query responses. Thanks to the one-two punch of DNSSEC and IPv6, the probability of a DNS reponse needing TCP on port 53 is much greater now.
