Numbers are not stupid at all, when you're trying to build a software
distribution ;)

Yes you're right but, how do you know the new releases don't carry other
bugs if you don't test them hardly ? and, How can you test an
application hardly if you're updating each time a release goes up ?

Developers usually get track and fix bugs in their packages, but most
can't get the time to test it in each software distro.

One bug fixed in one package can cause lots of problems on a package
group, even while the bug gets fixed.

Unfortunately, things are not as easy as to get the last version of each
application, package it and throw out the bundle.
