I'm a bit confused. Under this arrangement, what incentive is there for security-conscious common people to run BIND as a name server, rather than its various alternatives, most of which don't require preferential treatment in order to get timely security advisories/fixes?
Let's say you get your patches from Sun, right? Sun gets information on those patches from ISC, and releases them to you without preferential treatment. Just because you aren't aware of it, don't assume that software vendors don't have private channels of communication with their providers.
