sorry, let me re-phrase:
Some users do not want to update their bind with what rhel/centos repo provides. Some users update their bind/hint files when centos/rhel repo updates. so those who want to manually place/use the hint file for their BIND, they can do so bit easily if the old one is visible.

So before rhel/centos releases/updates their bind/hint file/bin, or users who do not want to update hint/bind portion specifically via yum, for such type of users, to use the latest hint file, i think the existing hint file & its location would help to place the latest hint file.
huh? I can't tell what you're suggesting.
