Until you prove your statements you may consider whatever you want.
The real fact is huge amount of useful features and fixes were
implemented in mc-4.7. As for me the biggest one is much better support
for UTF-8. For example, now mcedit works just fine with Japanese and
Chinese languages. For details see http://midnight-commander.org
