This is particularly true because the vendor-supplied version are so old. You can see this in the w3techs data: nginx 1.10.2 came out in October and already makes up 75% of all nginx 1.10 users. nginx 1.11.8 usage has similar trends. A possible solution to this would be to start publishing binaries in a package-manager-accessible format. I am confident it would see a much higher rate of adoption. - Y
