Although I agree in principle with what you are saying, you need to be
aware that some widely used distros ship with very old versions of
software.  The one that springs to mind is RHEL5 - it may not be the
most recent version of RHEL, but it is still a maintained version and
will be for about another 8 years or so - many commercial pieces of
software still *require* RHEL5 - things move slowly in the non-hobbyist
Linux scene!  RHEL5 use Evo 2.12.  Even RHEL6 ships with Evo 2.28, and
that probably won't change for a long time.  (And there's still RHEL3 &
4 in widespread use.)

So the answer is that it is an old release no longer maintained by the
Evolution developers.  If the OP is running a current distro, then their
best bet is getting support from the vendor, unless someone here
remembers that far back.

If they are not running a current distro release, then they really
should update for many many reasons!
