Just curious, how these Devs develop immunity to the "plague"?

In this particular case, the small team size and the multi-year effort to upgrade the DE to GTK+ 3 is likely a strong contributor.

I would not say they are immune, simply that they have the "metabolism" of sloths. In other words, a small team of volunteers rather than a big group of full time developers working for a big name corporation.
