The reason you get "out of date addons" is because of the way the game version interacts withs addons, even the Blizzard ones. In the .toc (table of contents) file, you will see a line that says: where "xxxxx" is the version of the game that the addon is listed as compatible.
Addons for 3.0.2 - 3.0.9 of WoW had listed there, and addons updated to Ulduar would be
However, sometimes there is no need to update an addon, as it works just fine in current form. I have seen addons listed for WoW 2.33 that continue to throw zero errors. Also, changing that line in the .toc will NOT automatically update the addon if patch 3.10 "broke" it; if that is the case, then the .lua files (the actual addon code that does something in game) will need to be updated, fixed, changed, etc. "Breaking" is caused by Blizzard removing, changing, adding, or otherwise altering the command code that the addon uses to do whatever it does.
