So you suggest to migrate from ESV-BIND to BIND (rpm 9.20.23)  ?
I chose ESV bind because it has life cycle longer than stable bind
Link, which you indicated, says It will end maintenance for 9.18 and
9.18-S at the end of June 2026 and efforts will be fixed efforts on
vulnerabilities in the 9.20 and 9.21 branches.
Do you know when 9.20 rpm esv-bind  will be available ?
