Does this mean that you want that new versions of extensions are 
uploaded into TER only every 5 years?

IMHO the change from '&$conf' to '$conf' is only a very very small fix, 
which is very very necessary in the case if you upgrade to PHP 5.3. 
AFAIK even Microsoft offers patches for Windows XP even after years 
after having published it for the first time.
