My users can make requests, and if their request is reasonable, I will

stable release than a broken one though.

to make it happen. Do you know how to force people to fix bugs? Should
you even consider forcing volunteers to do so?

Sure they do. They just don't provide them for 7.0, 7.1 or 7.2, only
7.3. It seems they only support the last of every major release series.
