You're bitching that you had to go back and do things the way they
should have been done in the first place?

Help me understand where you think Paul, or any of the ISC peoples,
is at fault?

BIND 8.2.3 makes you do that, too.

It complains about the absence of $TTL, but it doesn't "make you do it".

How many other sites got burned by non-RFC compliant SOA record formats
that used to work in every prior bind 8 / bind 4 version?  I refuse to
believe I'm the only one.  I had to write a pair of little perl scripts
and a bourne shell script to examine all our zone files and fix the ones
that needed fixing.
