It's about backwards compatibility. Debian's last release had a 2.1.6 package in it, and our release managers simply won't accept a new upstream version (i.e. 2.2.5 or 2.3) as security fix.
Shoot your release managers ;-)
Therefore, I have to try to backport security fixes to 2.1.6, silly as it might be, for those of our users that prefer stability over featurism ;-)
Urm, 2.2.5 and 2.3 are _considerably_ more stable than 2.1.6, featurism has nothing to do with it... cheers, Chris
