yes, this is a good explanation, I believe for the OP too.

"not supported" can of course mean "working without problems", however I
agree there's no point in only updating BIND itself.

Still, the OP can stick with provided BIND 9.8 that is in CentOS6, update to
CentOS 7 or compile his own BIND version (and provide support for
themselves)
