Security Patches for 8.x versions?

Why not upgrade to 9.5.x ?
It even compiles and runs ok under ancient and obscure OS's like OS/2
so I cant see any reason anyone would have for not running v 9.5.x
these days, even for people with large numbers of records.

ok, will admit I dont use database's with Bind but even if you did,
can it really be that hard ?

When I migrated from v8 to v9 it wasnt that difficult, infact the
new features of Bind v9.x.x are wonderful and I wondered
why I didnt do it sooner. [ok, the old if it aint broke dont fix it
but the day came when somethings have to be upgraded for
security]
