Is Bind still broken?

[dns]

... first , let me say i run bind:

    i've read the comments regarding this question.  most of the answers
share a similar odor to m$ vs. linux debates.

    broken , it seems , taken in its most static meaning.  the argument
that the internet "couldn't work if it was" relies on it, AND would fail
without that assumption.  to my mind , an evolving set of 'serious'
security vulnerabilities does not sound all that 'fixed'.  if bind
compared to , say , djbdns , then perhaps 'broken' takes on a more
realistic, and workable meaning.

     all that aside , what troubles me more , is the reported way in
which bind's creators have chosen to address this latest security
problem.  as i recall, isc knew a week before the initial 'public'
disclosure that a problem existed.  that in and of itself , not all that
extraordinary.  what is, is isc's providing their 'paying' customers with
fixes during that period.

    if that state of affairs defines their attitude toward the 'great
unwashed' , i think it something "ALL" users of 'bind' need to consider
when choosing a dns solution ...
