You could distribute a packaged unbound with pre-configuration, and
you only have to distribute /etc/hosts uniquely using something like
puppet. So I can see why it would be nice to have.

However, roughly the same can be accomplished using:

   interface: 0.0.0.0
   interface: ::0
   interface-automatic: yes
