I cannot answer whether this situation is still the case, and I know that it was not always the case, but on the last but one update to bind my configuration files were all renamed to .rpmsave and there were no .rpmnew files created, only the default config files left in place of the old ones.
Hm, when I installed bind last year for providing caching and some internal name resolution in the LAN, it didn't install many config files. I had to make up the main files by my own. What I did to get this setup was to install bind, bind-chroot and caching-nameserver (and remove it later as I saw I didn't need it). After that I saw at least two updates, but no changes to config files.
