IME, the major Linux vendors are pretty good about backporting
patches.  I.e. you may be officially running bind version 9.2.2, or
whatever, but the vendor backports patches so the (known)
vulnerabilities should no longer apply.

Although I still prefer to build my own, so I get the warm fuzzies of
*knowing* that I'm running 9.3.4P1 or 9.4.1P1.
