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.
Most of the -- what I'll call -- binary distributions of Linux tend to have a fairly small range of any given versions of software in the repositories provided by the Linux distribution provider.
There is nothing that prevents you from sourcing other versions, binary or compile it yourself, from other providers. But some people are unwilling to accept the risk.
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.
I'm used to seeing ~current, down level, and maybe bleeding level in the beta / early adopters distro releases.
