Time (or lack thereof), mainly.

It's probably not a long work to upgrade BIND on a dozen servers 
(assuming everything goes straight, obviously), but that's also true of 
several other softwares.
Upgrading them all would require a LOT of time: I just upgrade something 
when it's needed or the new version brings some tangible advantage.

I'm just trying to see if this is the case with BIND (before I risk 
breaking things for no reason).

  bye & Thanks
