No? What are dependencies for, then?
Or don't yum/RPM support them in the way debian does?
(that is why it's quite easy to have mixed Debian... we have machine with
mix of debian 5,6,7 and even 8... not that It's good idea)

that you have to apply *all* errata updates nothing else is supported
it's not a matter of dependencies, it's just a matter of what
combinations of packages are tested for regressions and the fact that
there are no updates for RHEL without a good reason
how does dependencies help when there was a critical bug fixed in
package A which may hit your updated version of package B because the
combination of that versions never was tested
feel free to ignore that but you are at your own if things behave
unexpected when the developers say "just only use 'yum upgrade'"
which applies also for minor releases, when CentOS 6.7 is out there
will be no single update for CentOS 6.6 packages and hence "yum
upgrade" brings you to CentOS 6.7 in a few weeks which is from that
moment on the only supported CentOS 6.x
yes, this is a good explanation, I believe for the OP too.
"not supported" can of course mean "working without problems", however I
agree there's no point in only updating BIND itself.
Still, the OP can stick with provided BIND 9.8 that is in CentOS6, update to
CentOS 7 or compile his own BIND version (and provide support for
themselves)
