I’m not sure if there is a consensus yet, so far not many developers have commented on the issue. Personally, I’m happy to give the platform the chance to catch up, but I’d always reserve Debian the right to jump when required for good reasons (e.g. new version of library needed by newer version of a program that we want, or bug in the libraries).
