A million times ? Googling for mdns4_minimal mdns_minimal return only 3 pages
or results, which, by google standards, is pretty few. And the only reference
to mdns_minimal being a problem instead of mdns4_minimal is a bug report where
*YOU* were only ranting. And a bunch of the other results are... *this* bug.

So please support your point with better arguments.

Mike
