But I know many people still run BIND 8 --- including heavy hitters like the root name servers operators. FWIW, I stepped in to update BIND to 8.3.1-REL as Security Officer, because of recent security bug fixes. In other words, I did it to fix something broken. Moving to BIND 9 is a feature enhancement that will require work on the part of our users. I'd like to see some discussion about the tradeoffs before we decide to make such a move.
