Well, I'm not authoritative, but I don't have a root hints file on my systems. Instead I rely on the hints built in to named, which get updated when I update BIND. Also it doesn't matter if the hints are out of date since the root name server list changes very infrequently and you only need one of them to work for named to start OK.
