If 9.16 was EOL at the end of April: 
https://kb.isc.org/docs/bind-9-end-of-life-dates  Help me understand why ESV 
wasn't rolled to 9.18 at that time or before in 2023 when it was marked as ESV?

It is difficult to explain to leadership why something was marked as EOL, but 
is still active in the pipeline.

The rollover plan and the graphic ISC's Software Support Policy and Version 
Numbering<https://kb.isc.org/v1/docs/aa-00896> do not seem to match.

transition

Have you considered scheduling the change in version published in each COPR 
repository so it doe not coincide with the release of a new version of BIND?

I have some hosts tied to the COPR for BIND-ESV, and some tied to BIND. I hit a 
stumbling block during the last "roll over" event, and it took me a a bit to 
figure out if it was due to the switch of BIND-ESV from 9.11 - > 9.16 in the 
repository, or the switch from 9.16.x -> 9.16.y in the code-release.

If we could have the version published in the BIND-ESV repository advance to 
the same version which was most recently published in BIND repository (i.e. 
ship 9.18.x in BIND, a couple of weeks later roll BIND-ESV to 9.18.x and BIND 
to 9.20.x, and a couple of weeks later release 9.18.y and 9.20.y), then 
problems with the COPR "roll over" would be a little more obvious.

While I don't have a specific date for you, we plan to do such a
"rollover" again when BIND 9.20.1 or 9.20.2 gets released, i.e. in about
2-3 months from now.  We will definitely roll all three repositories at
the same time, i.e.:

  - "bind-esv" will move from 9.16 to 9.18,
  - "bind" will move from 9.18 to 9.20,
  - "bind-dev" will move from 9.19/9.20 to 9.21.
