What do you expect? You cannot have it both ways: have the newest code
and have it totally stable. That is impossible.

And that Debian is an extreme case is certainly true. But take that
criticism to the Debian developers.

It is not particularly surprising that most developers work on other
distros that have a much faster development cycle than Debian, or if
the do choose Debian then they stick to the 'testing' or even
'unstable' distribution. Using Debian 'stable' for developing appears
very unwordly to me.
