Hints file when forwarding unnecessary in BIND 8.2.x?

Much to my surprise and delight, my BIND 8.2.1 name server configured with
global forwarding does not seem to require a hints file. No log message
about the lack of root name servers is emitted at startup and the server
appears to resolve anything just fine. This is a recent change. Is it
this one?
715. [clarity] root servers don't need to be primed.
Is this now a supported configuration: no zone of type hint required when
doing options { forward only; };?
Thanks,
Matt
