That's only true for map developers that keep the default rendering 
rules of the software in use. Once a developer starts to tweak the 
rendering to his liking, he usually has to copy the rules file(s) and 
therefore won't directly benefit from upstream changes of the software.

BTW: Most mobile device software (Garmin, mobile phone, ...) don't use 
mapnik/osm2pgsql.
