Many distro's (like Debian, for example), take the latest BRANCH, not
necessarily the tag'ed "release".  Such that even if there is not an
official release, they stil get all the backported fixes.  Also, it
gives people who compile their own a fixed version.  And finally, if a
security bug comes up that affects 3.1, there will be another release.

Three good points for backporting :-)
