Because newer versions of the software have been released since then,
someone/somewhere really does need to do the verification.

Nod, excellent point.  In this case, I'll freely admit being both too busy
and unmotivated to personally help do much about this particular issue.  I
do my best to prioritize my time/efforts, and this one wasn't on my radar.

Still, for anything to happen and for bugs to be fixed, it takes at least
*one* person (or more, and more the better) to care enough to "champion the
cause", if you will.  If that requirement isn't met, the bugs die of
inattention, I'm afraid.
