Jan spends a ton of time helping people, fixing bugs, doing  
maintenance, and otherwise simply making this project work. Telling us  
that we are free to ignore you is disingenuous - that's just a  
different thing that you - sure, not you, but someone - will complain  
about. And Jan's point is valid even if you don't like its tone. If  
there wasn't a ticket or a line in the changelog, then you're asking  
us to support a version that has been superceded by minor bugfix  
releases. Not going to happen for free, but you're welcome to hire  
someone to do it.

Of course it's not sacrilege. It's a perfectly valid opinion that is  
never going to change anything - because you're not submitting tickets  
or patches to help us improve.
