Your reasoning does not seem logical to me. If you need to stick to an 
older version of a given package for "security purposes", then why allow 
one user access to an allegedly insecure version?

On the other hand, if it is considered safe for that user to have access 
to the latest version, then why not just make it standard for everyone?
