Most items in the 9.11.6 release notes are also in the 9.11.5
release notes.

It is not a bugfix only update.

You are saying you were threatening to veto inclusion into 2.7 because
you aren't able to decide whether it should be backported to 2.6?

Doing the 9.11.5 -> 9.11.6 upgrade in master is something I wouldn't 
have suggested if I wouldn't have considered it reasonable.

Upgrading bind 9.11.4 -> 9.11.6 in thud is a case where 
automation or keywords in a commit cannot make the decision.
It doesn't look like a clear case either way to me.

The recipe maintainer might be better qualified to analyse
whether or not this is a backport candidate.
