There are all too often complaints about #Debian: "why does it have such old packages". There is a really lovely property of properly maintained stable distribution. The only changes made are to make it more stable and more secure, e.g. targeted bug fixes only. New bugs come with new features, or even more general, new bugs come with new code. So if a release of software is already addressing the need, then new features are just adding more risk of problems
