Look how's talking.

Obviously. If you don't have access to the latest source, then it's not Open Source, dummy.

You're misrepresenting the parent comment. It's making the point that work on the project is not free (and could thus be unsustainable despite people desiring updates to bugs or security issues) even if access to the source is free.

However, I do get the feeling from your other comment that you have an axe to grind against this project, so I won't expect high standards.
