Not all skins will be updated to Messenger 2009. In fact, most skins in the DB which aren't updated yet at this point might never be updated at all.
Updating a skin from 8.5 or older to 2009 can take almost as much work as creating an entire new skin. Microsoft change a lot to how 2009 works, at the surface you don't see as much changes as when you get into skinning.

Hence the big increase in skins being released and rereleased (as some already existed but got an update for the contest) during august and september.
