The new 9.16 test-version of "bind" is considered "upstream.".  Right ?

Is 9.17 "further upstream" ?

What factors will play out by the person choosing to replace the current version of "bind" in the Rawhide repo" with a later version ?

Will that version be latest 9.16 described in the author's email.   I am assuming that the author of the email, Mr. Menšík,  is not the bind package-manager in Fedora.

And finally, what would happen in Fedora 32, for "bind" to get a point-relase update ?

Any helpful insights related to packaging procedures for newbies would be of interest.   I have no clue what one does to compile a or build a package.
