Why is the Drupal package so outdated (7.14 instead of the current 7.18)?

How is a minor core update performed in this virtual environment?

"at first I was taken aback that the latest was DP 7.14 (7.18 is current as of this writing); however, I learned how to update the core. (Once your DP7.14 site is up and running, put it in maintenance mode; use Filezilla (or similar) to SFTP into the virtual server, and copy everything but the 'sites' directory into the server's /var/www/drupal7/ directory. Then on your DP site log into its address with 192.168.1.9/update.php to access that page and run the updates.)"

Which is an awesome commandline tool which allows installation, removal and update of modules, themes and the core. Very handy! :)
