Indeed. I think that one misnomer is that older releases contain less
bugs. The flip side of that is that newer releases contain more bug
fixes, but may introduce new bugs, generally in new features. One
thing is for certain, newer releases are more likely to have a quicker
turn around for bug fixes as it is actively being developed on. This
is just part of the software development cycle. The other notable is
that when bugs are found, the "main" release label is tested for the
existence of that bug and fixed if necessary, then the fix is back
ported, if feasible. And many know sometimes the code changes are too
complex for the fix to be back ported.
