You know just as well as I do that there is reasonable middle ground
between every upstream release every where every time, and the slowness
that is CentOS or maybe even ubuntu.

All I ask is that updates are being made for actual reasons that benefit
the end user and are easy to explain to the end user, something other
than "well it has a higher number, thus it must be better."
