There is now (not in Q3) a 9.20 package, but it is labeled as missing blocklist patches. > While it's not a big problem to switch BIND instance, given the status > quo I'm inclined to deploy with the base BIND and carry on as I've done > in the past. Using base seems to me like a good plan. NetBSD 10 has 9.18 which is bind-LTS but obviously 11 is better, with one fewer upgrade over any system lifetime. And it's 9.18.24, which is not 9.18.50. I don't see any reason to use 9.18 from pkgsrc on NetBSD 11.
