Because the more you install from source, the harder it is to make sure
you keep up with security updates. If you use pinning and install from
unstable you have a little bit more piece of mind that security updates
are getting installed, even if you forget that you do have that program
running somewhere on the server.

I don't know about you, but I get tired of having to periodically
browse websites to see if they've had any security fixes lately, meaning
I have to re-download and re-install.
