And IMO that is the point. Distributions will only incorporate into the
releases what /they feel/ is appropriate.
And is that wrong? If you want "the last" on your computer "as soon as
possible", then you need to change to a rolling release distro...
There is a reason because there are so many distros out there: they
are different. If you need to upgrade the very second there is a new
version of software X then you need a bleeding edge distro,
I disagree.
As you suggest, there is the core software, and is also a host of
software applications (some even have their own QA/Testing programs -
Mozilla being a prominent example).
If that's what openSUSE does, great! But users of other distributions
have different needs and level of knowledge. They have chosen their
distribution/platform. Should LibO not respect that user decision?
Holding back on incorporating another software program, from my
understanding, is done because of distribution revision testing/development.
AFAIK, some distributions (for example Debian
stable/unstable/testing/experimental) show a tendency to not incorporate
software major revisions (i.e. software ver x.y.z increases from 1.1.1
to 2.0.0) . Should users be punished because the development cycles of
the distribution and software group are different?
