We use FreeBSD for services, and regardless of major/minor OS version, 
the FreeBSD ports (and packages) will always support the various trains 
of the app. It's just a case of what you want to install.

I was assuming Linux has something similar, where in userland, you have 
the option to install which train of BIND you want, regardless of OS 
version.

But thinking about the days when I ran SuSE Linux and OpenSUSE (up until 
2007), I think I recall apps being tied to major/minor OS versions, when 
they used RPM as the package manager. It's been a while, so things may 
have since changed.
