Unfortunately, I have to agree.

At Genuity we upgraded our caching-only servers to BIND 9 because we 
needed its support for multi-threading, and didn't have too many 
problems (I think we had to bump up the query quota).

But when we tried installing it one one of our slave authoritative 
servers, things didn't go as smoothly.  This happened while we were in 
the process of downsizing, so we didn't have the resources to analyze 
and troubleshoot, so we decided to stick with what worked (8.4.x, I 
think).
