A LONG time ago an older (at the time, I think I've caught up) sysadmin
told me to use dig to update the named.ca file. Periodically he would
run dig with no arguments and compare the output to the existing
/var/named/named.ca file and copy it over the old one if anything had
changed.
Maybe

I'm not 100% sure but i think many centos/rhel boxes are still using

sorry, let me re-phrase:
Some users do not want to update their bind with what rhel/centos
repo provides.
Some users update their bind/hint files when centos/rhel repo updates.
so those who want to manually place/use the hint file for their

so removing it would not be good. even if bind has built into it

My point, what I have learned over the past few days, is that having a

hmm, here as
most recent release of BIND can obtain latest root hints by itself,
and i do not think it connects with (INTERNIC.NET or with) root
servers after a successful authentication of DNSSEC records, so at
initial point (during setup), there is a chance for an entity in the
middle to supply a false one.
