There is nothing that prevents you from sourcing other versions,
binary or compile it yourself, from other providers. But some people
are unwilling to accept the risk.
Yes, it's all coming back to now from my SuSE/OpenSUSE days.
It's one of the reasons we like FreeBSD. The base OS is just a(n empty)
shell, really. The Ports is where all the magic is, and they generally
are OS-version independent, as well as having the current, past and
bleeding edge versions.
Here's an example for those who aren't familiar with FreeBSD:
[root@ns-01-jnb /home/tinka]# ls /usr/ports/dns/bind
bind-tools/ bind9-devel/ bind911/ bind912/ bind913/
bind916/ bind918/ bindgraph/
[root@ns-01-jnb /home/tinka]#
Mark.
