I'm talking about things that depend on updated/modified versions of stock libraries or other tools like you find in some third-party repositories.
If they're well designed, they should just fit in along with official packages and in every respect be suitable replacements for them.
That would mean there would be a simple piecemeal upgrade path from any version of a distribution to any other. That doesn't seem to be the case and it's even less likely when the reason you are installing a different version is to get features not included in the stock distribution.
