There have been *many* updates since then. 7.0.1-1.fc16 is ancient,
from 2011:

It smells much like the recent Thunderbird releases don't like ancient
configuration files, but that's really just a guess. Such a Min/Max version
check typically only makes sense, if the target software can only handle
data within the supported version range and would need to give up early.

It might have been necessary to update from the ancient 7.0.1 to newer
ones in smaller steps in order to migrate user's configuration. Also just
a guess. ;-)
