that is exactly my point.
plus we can't always look at what other distro's do, because they aren't
necessarily "right" or "wrong". and indeed, there is no need to have 2
versions, and twice the QA. (unless if there is enough people who want to put
time on it, i think the current maintainer has already quite enough work.)
consider even the poll from a while ago, where it was quite clear that people
wanted support and stability, not the latest versions. and the more features
we have, the more risk of new bugs.
I don't like exceptions, and this is a good reason to get rid of one.
