And then your package reaches distributions 1-5-7 years later. I guess that's an acceptable software distribution practice. If you're still living in the 80's :D

Want things to make it into STABLE distros quicker, do not break APIs because the latest bling bling framework/language/whatever got released!

There are many people who have got tired of wanting the absolute latest exciting version of their text editor, mail client, IRC client, spreadsheet and want things to just work and leave them alone. The larger part of me dreads debian upgrades these days.

What about the many people who do want the latest version of their text editor etc? Those people now have few options good options. Is it fair to force them to conform to your conservative standards?
