<p>I assume the day is approaching when the packages in the COPR
repositories will be changed; isc/bind-esv will have 9.18 (instead
of 9.16), and ics/bind will have 9.20</p>
<p>So that we might start weaving this into our maintenance plans,
is there a projected date on which this will happen?<br>

<div>The BIND 9.16 release branch is approaching EOL as of
April, 2024. We encourage users running 9.16 or (gasp) 9.11,
to upgrade to 9.18.

<div>The 9.18 branch has consistently out-performed the 9.16
branch, and we are confident that it is more stable than
9.16. One of our support engineers has prepared a helpful
knowledgebase article on updating from 9.16 to 9.18 (<a href="https://kb.isc.org/docs/changes-to-be-aware-of-when-moving-from-bind-916-to-918" originalsrc="https://kb.isc.org/docs/changes-to-be-aware-of-when-moving-from-bind-916-to-918" shash="jNjvL4j9iAdPSFX9UkLnLjBbRJxsaufGJPbdMWsfwTZ+IrgO86xYVlX4nfSJVw8qt0kygWpanmpI5T9lgF3T7QTM7V0qPUOn+X409H4wb0y2c2jpMekJbKK+VysdAC+Y+ACISiRDvbci1S70Ye9on3uw65V/COdKrR0cdoT9AaY=" moz-do-not-send="true">https://kb.isc.org/docs/changes-to-be-aware-of-when-moving-from-bind-916-to-918</a>)

<div>For an overview of our release plan, we maintain another
knowledgebase article (<a href="https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00896" originalsrc="https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00896" shash="EA6vIV3GzcRwDLe5paBkFhAlgQFZcsZ15wzYypFIzYNP6YMC817YNxIb0uBOtVQTDv467WodiPllTFyUlsocmkeveYYg0hf2ehKbqYC9RkmR+EaMdwbzLSwba37Kb3TYBLssJLGheiK9zPnYiJXM9XKMTq7MWdt4Ze9dEHhrGUg=" moz-do-not-send="true">https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00896</a>).
This was updated earlier this month, to move the start of
future new stable branches from Q1 to Q2. The problem with
starting a new stable branch in Q1 is, after the long
holiday quiet period, we always have a number of important
fixes and changes we need to release *before* we can start a
new stable branch. We are currently projecting that our next
stable branch, BIND 9.20, will be released in Q2.</div>
