always seemed to be a bad idea to me.

If the point is to use a supported/maintained package system like Red
Hat or CentOS, security updates are always applied through.

When you go off packaging, you then become responsible for the software
from installation to maintenance.

If you're going to use djbdns, why bother using CentOS?
