So instead of shipping one executable with code X + Y they should ship two executables: one with code X + one with Y + Z, increasing the overall complexity of what they ship and adding the inevitable "bloat" which would come from extracting DNS code into a deamon and additional code to communicate between Chrome and that deamon (the Z part).

That doesn't sound like a sound engineering practice.

No. They give them a competitive advantage over other OSes by offering a faster Internet experience on ChromeOS. They stick with classic DNS resolving on Chrome the browser, no matter the plateform.

The complexity and bloat is having Chrome, Firefox, Opera copying DNS cache features and not gathering their knowledge together in this area.
