Those are CentOS updates, absolutely nothing to do with BQ.  The last 
update to BQ was the single Dovecot update last month that took Hisao 7 
months to be released!  This didn't take 7 months to do, it had been 
sitting in testing for 7 months and hadn't been moved to production.

Before that there was one package in Sep 2008 [1], one in Jul 2008 [2] 
and one in May 2008 [3] ... FOUR single updates in 12 months!!

I don't want to compare this to BlueOnyx as has already mentioned it is 
not comparing apples with apples but I think it's safe to say that there 
have been a lot more actual fixes to code send out to this mailing list 
than that and that still have been ignored let alone all the developers 
code that Brian & Michael submitted and was just ignored.
