Not always the case, as most obvious example is, and I've lost count at 
how many times, curl has had updates

Slackware 15.0 x86_64 stable is released!
  
Another too-long development cycle is behind us after we bit off more than
we could chew and then had to shine it up to a high-gloss finish. 
Hopefully we've managed to get the tricky parts out of the way so that 
we'll be able to see a 15.1 incremental update after a far shorter 
development cycle. Certainly the development infrastructure has been 
streamlined here and things should be easier moving forward.

I guess thats long gone by the wayside :)
