Hi,

The current version of evolution is not broken and probably not over an
unstable version which got some much rewrital and so few testing. Glad
that it works for you it doesn't mean that everything is bugless.
The Ubuntu team decided to stay a known version because jumping on a
rewrite not done yet would be risky and would requiring having
ressourcing working chasing bugs and updates for that new version.
You can also note that the next RHEL version will use 2.28 and that
Debian might be doing so in their coming stable, it means this version
will keep being stabilized and worked. The new version will probably be
distributed in some ppa for those who feel the need to upgrade though.
