It was pointed out to me that Process (where MultiNet lives these days) is
indeed releasing new BIND versions in both the base MultiNet kits (whatever
was current at that time) and newer versions when they issue ECO kits for a
particular MultiNet release.

We're discussing the particular case of CAA / TYPE257 to see if I was incor-
rect there as well.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming...
