uhm with default settings most server software is designed to
run everywhere but mostly not with best performance and/or
with questionable security settings

for mission critical packages (dbmail, mysql, apache, postfix, trafficserver..) 
i build
my own packages since i started to take over resposibility of the 
infrastructure and
i did not regret it for a single second - a mysql-upgrade is a no-brainer 
because it
works without dumping and restoring databases, at least the last 12 years

both cases are greatly improved:
* a newer package than the distribution ships
* maintain a older one like PHP 5.3 for Fedora 17/18 because PHP 5.4
  had some bad incompatible changes we needed to prepare until last summer

the only thing you should always avoid is install software bypassing your
package managment because the question is not if it will break things badly
only when it will happen
