2.4 kernel and bind 8.2.3 - REL.

[Tim Maestas]

	If people possesed half the brain you refer to,
	then their zone files would not be incorrect
	in the first place, and hence would not require
	changes in migrations from 8 to 9.  In any case,
	you are not being "pushed" to go to 9.  Keep your
	broken zone files on 8 if it makes your life easier.
