** important note ***

For eventual newer version of bind upgrade into later Ubuntu.

Previously, it was possible to build BIND without thread support for old architectures and systems without threads support. BIND now requires threading support (either POSIX or Windows) from the operating system, and it cannot be built without threads.

Seems like we can use single-thread up to 9.14, after that it's no longer offer as an configuration option, so until the upstream deadlocks are fix, and considering that --disable-threads is our current workaround/best options, we should not go beyond 9.14 until we have a better solution using multi threading and/or if upstream fix the deadlocks issues that MAAS suffers.
