v7.1 of vim comes with an earlier version of netrw that works with v7.1. Once a release has been made, that release is no longer modified, so vim v7.1 is not going to be "unusable" -- its as usable now as ever. It does mean that you can't upgrade v7.1 with plugins that use new features, one of which is improved security functions. The shellescape() function, in particular, was itself upgraded in v7.2a's patch#13. Netrw v126g uses that enhancement, hence to use it requires the upgraded vim.
