You forgot the <sarcasm> tag, so I assume that you are agreeing with me.
Actually, I run the latest upstream versions of all the apps that I
use daily. It really isn't too hard to keep up with. And I understand
that this activity isn't what most people want to do with their time.
The Fedora developers do a great job with RHEL. I also have a lot of
respect for the LFS group.
Now I'll shut you and get back to updating my Kubuntu box.
