It's mostly driven by image usage and the amount of effort required to maintain a given image. We're currently going through an EOL exercise this year to pick and choose which images will stay and which will go. Generally speaking most of the database related images (like percona, postgresql, mongodb etc) will stay. The WordPress image is something we might drop in the future.
For image updates we generally try to update the SmartOS (non-base) images once a year for the pkgsrc Q4 LTS release, with occasional interim updates where warranted. We recently release a percona 16.4.1 image. If you had some issue with that image, please let me know off-list and we'll take a look.

The couple time I've tried anything besides a basic image, it either outright was broken (percona) or been woefully outdated (wordpress). I expect it's mostly a manpower vs. interest/usage issue, just would like to know what is worth bumping/filing requests/bugs for, and what to ignore.
