Linux distress behave the same way. The online repository provides the newest 
version of the packages. When you select to install something from online, it 
does not install the old version that would have come with the release. It 
installs the newest version available. 






Actually, most Linux distributions do quite the reverse as far as I know.

Here is an extract (I removed not significative lines) from my 
/etc/apt/sources.list file:

# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to

# newer versions of the distribution.

deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ impish main restricted

deb-src http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ impish universe restricted main 
multiverse #Added by software-properties

# deb-src http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ impish restricted



## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the

## distribution.

deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ impish-updates main restricted

deb-src http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ impish-updates universe restricted 
main multiverse #Added by software-properties

# deb-src http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ impish-updates main restricted





deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ impish-security main restricted

deb-src http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ impish-security universe 
restricted main multiverse #Added by software-properties

deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ impish-security universe

deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ impish-security multiverse



As you can see, it separate the main repositories, from the updates, and the 
security fixes.

I guess security fixes could be merged with the updates. Not sure it is a good 
idea to do so however.
