I think the answer is in backports becoming available. All other options
have been discussed in length before and I believe this is what we settled
on at the time.
Unfortunately this does mean that timing is sometimes a bit unfortunate
release cycle wise. Mageia 2 will already be a bit later so we can include
new versions of Gnome and KDE, but the line has to be drawn somewhere on
what goes in and what does not.
On the bright side, 9 months do pass quicker than you'd think :-)
