Reasons why BIND isn't being upgraded

All of the recent list traffic got me thinking about why people aren't
upgrading. Maybe some insight?
I have several name servers. I have inherited them from admins that didn't
seem to know what they were doing and I cannot upgrade one of them at all.
It would require a total rebuild. I have upgraded the rest to 8.2.3.
Another reason I haven't put more effort into it, is because I am waiting
for two brand spanking new servers to arrive. I don't have the time to
rebuild a name server I will trash in less than a week. Russian Roulette, I
know.
Is it pretty common to be understaffed and overworked? I can't believe I
just asked that. I am always overworked with next to no help, but it seems
that recently things are worse. Is that true all around?
Anyone else in similar situations?
Also, anyone else see a HUGE increase in scans for port 53? I mean out of
control scans.
