Does this mean that BIND would be updated in RELENG_7_x, as well, for the
supported branches?

I understand that they aren't security updates, per se, however it is an EOL
issue as you have pointed out.

I'm not certain if this could possibly fall under errata, but it does seem
appropriate that if the branch isn't reaching EOL, and if third-party
software will, it should be dealt with in some way for supporting the
community through the RELENG_7_x tag.

Just some thoughts...
