Bits certainly don’t rot and you’re welcome to stay on the latest stable version that runs on your architecture.
And if you want new bits with the new features, those aren’t the same bits and that work isn’t free.

Exactly. That's all I'm asking for. If version X works on my system today and version Y needs an OS bump, well... that sucks and is avoidable, but whatever. I expect to be able to obtain and use version X tomorrow and into the future. That's it. I'm not asking to make version Y work for me, but it would be nice if they didn't add the OS dependency.
But increasingly, developers can't even manage to keep version X around and working, despite them having to simply not do anything to it to keep it from breaking.
