No. When someone has the time and energy to do it, then it will be
done. However, a MFC of a whole release of bind gets harder and
harder the farther back in time you go. IIRC it breaks binary
compatibility with the crufty old versions we have in RELENG_3 and
RELENG_2_2.
The reason we did the resolve fix all the way back to 2.2 was that it
has existed for that long and was essentially a trivial to fix.
