The problem is that you barely even test changes, just release and pray.
It aint exactly a terrific idea to just use stuff released like that.

That doesnt sound like a terribly practical approach, because its quite
feasible for other than PKTs generated by PQWK to have that problem. In
other words, even if the latest PQWK is used, you havent allowed for
some other point which doesnt even use PQWK at all doing that blemish.

And its not as if its a particularly uncommon problem either.
