This is the reason.
It seems that DNN can never get a release right. They either break existing functionality, create more bugs, or remove functions without notification that they feel are deprecated. Of all the projects and CMSes I’ve ever participated in, DNN has to be the worst when it comes to releases. By far.

Makes it extremely hard to test and deploy releases when they all have so many problems. And DNN’s response each time, “Our bad, we really need to do more testing. Look at all the things we’re doing to ensure more testing.” Doesn’t seem like they actually test anything, just set up more people and committees.
It also seems like they are more worried about sticking to a release schedule than releasing a stable product that has as few bugs as possible. (In some instances I’ve had to wait for several releases for them to fix functionality that was working but they broke with a release. What major software does this?)
