But why not build the latest-and-greatest version of add-on packages
against BOTH the stable and the latest-and-greatest unstable
distribution?

Then later versions of software (even if they're not long-tested
and stable) could be run on the stable distribution.


Note that that's what various other sites (Gnome, someone's KDE site,
etc.) provide--recent individual software that doesn't require 
the more recent, unstable distribution.
