If you don't mind, can you send an email to <bind9-bugs at isc.org> with
the format you'd like it to be in?

The only feedback we got for this change was this: By mistake, we had
introduced this change within an existing stable branch which broke
scripts for some users who understandably didn't expect such a change
within a stable release, whereas the change should have appeared only in
a new release branch made off master (in this case, master -> 9.11
only). If there's a feeling that some change is not up to the mark or
can be done differently, please file a bug and let us know.

(IIRC, the previous format was not consistent too.)
