I still feel excited about updates like that all the time with Linux.

Having used a distro that expose me to the sausage making, i am not.

One either have to rely on everything being updated in lockstep with everything else, or expect to do some massive backporting.

This because outside of a few projects, the kernel being one of them (Qt being another, oddly enough), nobody can be bothered to actually adhere to API, never mind ABI, stability beyond their own use for them.
