Details
I'm wondering if this is an intentional decision. I didn't
know it before but 4.3.x is the development branch of zsh
for the coming stable 4.4. I think my shell is one of the
places I don't want dev branch software (even though this
seems quite stable). At this point going to 4.2 would seem
silly, but perhaps not going to 4.5 when it's released would
be prudent.

I don't see your point. This is the only version that is
advertised upstream and even Debian oldstable is already using
4.3. Some projects always call their most recent version
unstable/in-development etc. no matter what. Do you have any
actual problem with 4.3?
No actual problems, I just found out that Zsh uses odd releases to
denote development versions. I admit they don't do a good job of
advertising it, and don't update stable much (since '08) or really
why 4.3 isn't ready for primetime yet.
