Looking at the available packages[1], it does not appear that all of the community supported versions are updated (e.g. the last 9.6 updates were in 2018). It also seems that package updates are random -- e.g. there was a 13.1 release, and a 13.4 release, which misses several bug fix + security releases, and they come out several weeks after the release. I'd be more open to this if the packages themselves were hosted on community infrastructure and were consistent with the rest of the packaging projects. Right now I'm -1 on this; additionally, I'm generally -1 to adding more additional offsite links to downloads.
