With a volunteer project, it likely comes down to a question of manpower. Who exactly should test every example on all platforms before each release? That's pretty tedious work. However, I would submit that whoever wrote or contributed the example should do the testing. Vincent does give those of us who have published packages (see CCR page) plenty of warning before a new release to _test_ our stuff against it and file bug reports if anything is broken. Anything that's considered a regression usually holds up the release until it's fixed. The same should hold for the examples shipped with Laz.
