Of course there is

a) 1.11.17 is in the tree which is the latest STABLE version of CVS, but
not the latest.
but that is not the reason. My reason is:
b) when someone decides to import <whatever> revision into the base, I
might not want it (for whatever reason), and I can choose to upgrade
whenever I want. For example bind8->bind9 switch in the past. With
NO_BIND, and dns/bind* from the ports, it's on my own when I decide to
update/migrate or not.
