It's just you.

The fact that we do point releases is exactly how previous versions get 
supported. When a bug is found in e.g. 2.3.27 and the fix is released in 
2.3.28, then if you want the fix you have to install 2.3.28.

How exactly do you expect people to receive fixes, if not by installing them 
when they are available?
