This seems reasonable.

One hopes this will be re-evaluated sometime after 6.x starts,
and before *that* becomes the stable branch.  Given that we're
almost at the point of having 5.x become freebsd-stable, it is
probably best that we not jump to bind 9 at this point.
However, I don't think we can stay at bind 9 forever...
