A) Should I expect these file permissions be altered by a minor update?
I know I started at 9.11.8 and have updated to 9.11.9 and 9.11.10
without seeing this behavior.

I am certain I didn't need to reapply those file permissions with my earlier version updates. But if this is the expected behavior with each update, then that experience was an outlier. I will explore relocating my logs to a location not affected by package updates.

I see bind 9.11.4 in centos7, where did you pull 9.11.10 from?

which is why we don't need to reinstall our Linux boxes all the time
when things become messy over the years

I find this somewhat humorous I have recently started using linux. I am amazed how often the operating system changes radically, and how short the support windows are . . . when compared to the Solaris environment we are turning off.

yes, it depends on what you are replacing. commercial SW distributions have
longer period than free.

Redhat (commercial) and Centos (redhat-based) have 10-years security
support.  Debian and Ubuntu have 5-years LTS, Ubuntu provides commercial
support for another 3 years (and company freexian tries to provide ELTS for
debian for some time)

However that does not apply for packages outside of centos.
