They aren't. It is enough of a chore to track upstream, to track upstream
_and_ backport fixes is too much to ask. And most fun comes to your average
geek from playing with the newest, shiniest toy around...
And I even think that 6 months of
innovative technologies, 6 months with a slowdown in updates, only
important updates, on user demand and then only critical fixes as long
as a maintainer is doing them would even be better.
Tell you what, this is /exactly/ (well, almost) what you'd get following
CentOS or RHEL, only /without/ screwing up Fedora.
