I'm apparently not making myself clear here .. I don't give a damn about new versions ever since I found a replacement that I consider superior in every respect (and no, I don't care about supporting obscure broken servers). I had grown discontent with the size of fetchmail and its man page for some time already. What then finally made me look for a replacement was fetchmail showing up on the security page every other week...

You may or may not have made fetchmail secure (BTW, ever tried fuzzing it?). If you did, congratulations. I'm quite confident you didn't reduce its size considerably, though.
