Spiro, you're missing the point of a distro completely. That is to provide a functionally static platform for people to use and release to. From that point on, only security patches are released. The fact that 0.94.x was current when debian lenny was released means that it should stay that way until EOL of the distro.
Anything else is breaking at least the spirit of the distro release philosophy. Sure you can use a different model, like including the volatile and / or backports packages, but that's not the point. I've heard of these, but then I'm a career sysadmin. How many servers out there are managed by those, rather than just relying on the testing performed by debian/redhat/novell, etc?
