No. CentOS follows RedHat. They backport fixes to older versions rather than put the new version out. It appears that have aversion to new feature and just want to put the fixes onto the older versions. So that 9.9.4 probably has 60% of the changes that the diff of 9.9.4 has to 9.9.8 . This action confuses most. alan
The point of putting out maintainence releases is to fix bugs in
the existing code not to introduce features. We leave features to
the .0 releases. The [func] below are bug fixes / security fixes.
Even with 60% of the changes one is missing a huge number of bug
fixes.

+ read succeeded, it doesn't result in a bug
+ during operation. If the read failed, named
+ could segfault. [RT #38559]
+
+3938. [func] Added quotas to be used in recursive resolvers
+ that are under high query load for names in zones
+ whose authoritative servers are nonresponsive or
+ are experiencing a denial of service attack.
+
+ - "fetches-per-server" limits the number of
+ simultaneous queries that can be sent to any
+ single authoritative server. The configured
+ value is a starting point; it is automatically
+ adjusted downward if the server is partially or
+ completely non-responsive. The algorithm used to
+ adjust the quota can be configured via the
+ "fetch-quota-params" option.
+ - "fetches-per-zone" limits the number of
+ simultaneous queries that can be sent for names
+ within a single domain. (Note: Unlike
+ "fetches-per-server", this value is not
+ self-tuning.)
+ - New stats counters have been added to count
+ queries spilled due to these quotas.
+
+ These options are not available by default;
+ use "configure --enable-fetchlimit" (or
+ --enable-developer) to include them in the build.
+
+ See the ARM for details of these options. [RT #37125]
+
+3937. [func] Added some debug logging to better indicate the
+ conditions causing SERVFAILs when resolving.
