Thanks for asking this question.

We regularly merge commits from upstream, but we park them on the develop branch until we make a release. Only when we release a buildpack does that code make it onto master.

I can guess that your next question will be, "Why so long between releases?" and that's a good question. We should be making releases more often, and in fact the nodejs-buildpack is an outlier in this respect, primarily due to the long period of time between 0.12.x features and the 4.x branch being released and CF determining a support strategy (see #32 for context).

I expect we'll be cutting releases often going forward, particularly given the Node core team's frequent release cycle.

Apologies for the inconvenience here.
