Probably because they've still not hit a 1.0 release yet and it's very
heavily in development.  It'll still work if you don't upgrade, you
just don't get the new signatures.

No need to halt things, though my general position is that running
development releases of software on a production system should, where
possible, be avoided.

F-Prot, as mentioned is pretty good, newer versions of AVP (Kaspersky)
are also pretty good (I'm still running 4.x at home, and it still
updates with new signatures).
