This feature appears to be added because the author was getting tired of
bug reports for already fixes bugs, the following is on top of the
function that checks if it is too old:

> Getting very tired of bug reports of already-fixed bugs due to
> Linux distros shipping multi-year-old versions.

So basically the problems have shifted from the author to the
packagers/maintainers of distros. To me, that sounds like a pretty
terrible idea.
