I see only one reason to force the upgrade of a stock package with a
newer version and is precisely the lack of support (nor patches) from
upstream packager.

I see _no_ reason to force the upgrade of any package, whether it is
"maintained" or not, so long as it works. Right now I have a broken
system since PCLOS forced me to "upgrade" synaptiks. It was working
perfectly the way it was, and so was the OS. Now the OS is shot all
to hell, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Two previous attempts
to upgrade the OS from 2010 to 2010.07 went down in flames, and now I
suppose I will have to try .10 and see what happens. What may very well
happen is that I run the XP that I got with the laptop. It's not as
smart or as interesting as PCLOS, but it seems to be less likely to crash.
