As of this morning, /pub/NetBSD/packages/1.5/i386/All still does not 
have the new, secure BIND 8.3.0:

dir bind*
-rw-rw-r--  1 1127  netbsd  4994104 Dec 23 19:27 bind-8.2.2p7.tgz
-rw-rw-r--  1 1127  netbsd  2615945 Nov 18 09:22 bind-9.0.0.tgz
-rw-rw-r--  1 1127  netbsd  2553128 Jul 26  2000 bind-9.0.0rc1.tgz
-rw-rw-r--  1 1127  netbsd  2632710 Jan  4 00:22 bind-9.0.1.tgz
-rw-rw-r--  1 1127  netbsd  2987182 Jan  4 00:11 bind-9.1.0b1.tgz

Further, after doing a sup on current, I still can't make the new 
BIND because the Makefile has two errors in it (there are two 
spurious ".WAIT" words in the SUBDIR= line).

Is there an unstated reason for us not being faster on this? Are we 
trying to force folks to go to BIND 9? And, if so, why don't we have 
the final BIND 9.1 in the packages tree?
