Part of the problem is that the early releases were pretty bad - sometimes even requiring patches that were only published in the Fedora package to work correctly (like, they literally hadn't upstreamed by the developers at all at the time). PulseAudio also didn't do bugfix-only releases, you either backported or waited for the next major release and hoped it didn't break anything else. They just released what I think is probably the first bugfix-only release in the project's history a couple of days ago. This certainly wasn't a case of the prior releases being so good they didn't need fixing either.

Haha, that is ridiculous!
