This can also happen in fedora, it is common to have package changes
applied to 'stable' branches. Also I don't think this is what the person
you responded to had in mind, indeed a 'rocksolid' (or even a 'stable'?)
release would certainly be a release where updating packages to the
latest version is avoided.
