You can probably find issues that are two years old as well. Maybe even three. And we have engine issues that are four years old. Everyone wants completely bug free software with all the features that you could ever imagine. Unfortunately that is not how it works. There will always be things that we do not have time to fix, and while it may be frustrating that there are issues that are several years old that is just the way it is. Take almost any large software project with a public issue tracker and I bet you can find really old issues that hasn’t been fixed yet.
With that said, we have been recruiting more developers so that we can ship more features and fix more bugs.
