I strongly agree and suggest that we represent the silent majority of
long term Debian users. You cannot introduce packages that have only
been around for a year or two into Stable without diluting what Stable
means. Please don't.
If I want bleeding edge I'll Backport it or use Backports - with all the
risks and hassles it can bring to a complex, reliable, robust, and
Production critical box. And there's always Experimental and Unstable -
which is where packages that *are* Unstable or Experimental belong.
Debian is *not* a Desktop distro. Let's keep what works, and has done
for several decades.
There are no Desktop "wars" - except in the mind of users with General
delusions.
Kind regards
