That's not terribly surprising. Clojure is incredibly stable. It's a pattern you'll see across the ecosystem. There are libraries that haven't seen a change in 2+ years which still see heavy usage and downloads. In that regard, it's unlike any other ecosystem I've seen. Don't let it dissuade you-- after a while, you'll get used to it and see it as a strength, and by comparison most other languages will seem insanely churny.
