BIND defaults to "none" unless you explicitly tell it to enforce
a delegation only policy. You, as the administrator, decide wehter you
want your delegation only policy to default to none with an include list
or all with an exclude list.

If you want 'none with an include list', you use delegation-only.

If you want 'all with an exclude list', you use root-delegation-only.

The ISC gave you a choice of tools. You need to decide which is
appropriate for your site.
