Can't install Bind914

The message constantly appears that in December 2020 Bind911 will stop working. I therefore decided to install Bind 914 but it does not work

Code: 
sudo pkg install bind914

There is no BIND 9.14 in ports (and thus no packages). Use 9.16, that's the 'new' long-term support version.
 
better install the latest version,
you still can use the old one but it will be removed
so..soon or later
they are some changes in the sintax of configuration,but nothing dificult to migrate
 
I've already converted a few installs from 9.11 to 9.16, almost all of them where just a matter of uninstalling 9.11, installing 9.16 and starting it. None of my DNS servers had any special configurations though, that certainly made things easier. In any case, it's always a good idea to backup your current configuration so you can switch back in case things go pear-shaped. Bind 9.11 won't go EoL until the end of next year, so you have plenty of time for the migration.

How to understand such a contradiction regarding 9.14 : "There is no BIND 9.14 in ports (and thus no packages)" and "I've already converted a few installs from 9.11 to 9.16, almost all of them where just a matter of uninstalling 9.11, installing 9.14" and ?????
