+	  No.  The BIND 9 bug database is kept closed for a number
+	  of reasons.  These include, but are not limited to, that
+	  the database contains proprietory information from people
+	  reporting bugs.  The database has in the past and may in
+	  future contain unfixed bugs which are capable of bringing
+	  down most of the Internet's DNS infrastructure.
+	</para>
+	<para>
+	  The release pages for each version contain up to date
+	  lists of bugs that have been fixed post release.  That
+	  is as close as we can get to providing a bug database.
