You do not have to sift through lists. We provide quite detailed git
branch with each change we make. It has references to bugs related too.
I admit changes listed in release notes of bind9 releases are nicer. But
we do not hide what and why we do changes, publish them quite nice way
for c9s [1]. It would be the same c8s as well soon.
For important changes they are mentioned in release notes of the minor
release. But I admit we do not mention explicitly each bug we fix the
way ISC does. It would make our documentation unreadable.
In any case, even if we fall behind a couple of releases, any our
packages of bind 9.16 are capable of automated DNSSEC deployment just
fine. Sure, even we do not support it for RHEL7 or older.

Then please let me suggest that there is possibly an issue with
identification (customer said "9.16.23") and documentation of the
actual changes that are incorprorated in your distribution, compared
to the upstream-maintained patch releases published since that
release. Sifting through those two lists and juding what's "needed"
and what isn't quite quickly becomes an unmanageable task.
Stability of the base version of BIND (perhaps in particular) should
not be mis-interpreted as an indication of continuing operational
safety.
Otherwise I have sympathy with Ondřey Surý's message.
