- 4.3 is stable and has no problems (5.x and 6.x there are multiple
  reports)
- 4.3 is faster and more CPU friendly than later ones.
- 4.3 has license that can be used. Later ones have completely changed
  the licensing.
- Later version are complete rewrites - There is no upgrade path from
  4.x - 5.x - 6. x - or any later version possible.

I welcome someone to try to make an "installer" for later versions.

I think you refer to tar.gz etc. sources that are available from Web
pages. In this case the sources are fetched from Bazaar version control
repository hosted by launchpad.net. The repository's integrity isn't
compromized while the cloning, the download, happends.

If you have more information about bzr version control repository
breaches or their lack of security, please let me know.
