Keep in mind that the particular SlackBuild is managed by the maintainer.
It is he who decides what happens with it.

You can't stop the maintainer from pushing the latest version as long as 
the core Slackware dependencies does not need an update.

As I mentioned somewhere before, there is no more QA than just testing 
if the particular version works. Nobody (almost?) looks at the code.

Surely, there are occasionally some problems.
There is room for improvement.
But I don't think they mandate the changes you think of.
