I think the big problem is the viewer teams are slow to pickup these changes and fixes, most of the viewer projects seem quite dead to me at the moment...
I cannot agree at all Neb... as you have seen from Cinder, Nicky and others, I have found that OpenSim issues raised on the viewer issue trackers are VERY quickly discussed and often directly between interested OpenSim devs and those looking at OpenSim aspects of the viewers.
I am a Firestorm (SL+OS version) user myself mostly but also for testing and specialised use Singularity, Alchemy, Kokoa, CtrlAltStudio (a Firestorm variant for 3D stereo and Oculus) as I use a lot of different grids and Second Life. Just as one example of all the viewer developments, for those watching the Firestorm commits and issue tracker it is extremely active... and although their approach is to have quite a long time between releases there is a LOT of testing and feedback with beta testing groups and pre release candidates for those signing up to the groups that test those. The next Firestorm 4.7.5 for example has been in active testing for some time and reached a Release Candidate stage in the last few days.
I do try to raise issues or add comments on the Firestorm JIRA to raise coordination issues, cross posting Firestorm JIRA and OpenSim Mantis issues between them, and I have found they are addressed, commented on or looked at almost instantly. I would encourage everyone else interested in any specific viewer to do that. Its the key way viewer folks can get to know what is happening in OpenSim-land, though quite a few of the viewer devs of course also track or contribute to OpenSim.
