For most software, I'd strongly agree with you. But anti-spam

With SA 3.1.2 just released, 3.0.4 is archaic. It's like fighting
the Gulf War with WWII weapons. (And anyone using SA 2.xx is using
stuff from the 19th century.)
You're absolutely right of course - but those of us relying on Debian
stable have only got 3.0.3-2sarge1 to go on.
Is it safe to pin spamassassin to the version in testing (currently
3.1.1-1) when everything else i use (sendmail/mimedefang/clamav) is
out of stable - or should i pin those 'upwards' as well?
