A good definition of "current" is "Belonging to the present time."

bind-9.7.3 came out 02/14, but the prior release was 9.7.2-P3 from
last year and RHEL 5.6 carries

Version    : 9.3.6 Release    : 16.P1.el5
Version    : 9.7.0 Release    : 6.P2.el5

both of which were released by Paul Vixie and crew at isc.org before
recently formed rocks.

N.B. pkgs.org is showing that CentALT is at current code and Fedora is
using a release candidate!
