distributions are backporting security fixes
We use FreeBSD for services, and regardless of major/minor OS version,
the FreeBSD ports (and packages) will always support the various trains
of the app. It's just a case of what you want to install.
I was assuming Linux has something similar, where in userland, you have
the option to install which train of BIND you want, regardless of OS
version.
But thinking about the days when I ran SuSE Linux and OpenSUSE (up until
2007), I think I recall apps being tied to major/minor OS versions, when
they used RPM as the package manager. It's been a while, so things may
have since changed.
