You stripped my response text completely and you're basically 
missing the point.

Upstream developers often do provide minimal updates but 
distributions (especially Debian) fall way behind the releases 
which leads to insanely large update gaps. They try to "fix" that 
by back-porting patches claiming that these old but patched 
releases are more "stable" (without giving a clear definition of 
"stable").

IMO this approach neither is stable nor secure. Repeating this 
"stable" claim over and over does not make it become true. And it 
wastes a lot of time.

Ciao, Michael.
