No, on the contrary, using the latest bleeding edge components is the surest way of getting still-to-be found bugs. I develop exclusively on the oldest, most conservative stable distribution (Debian), precisely because I want to have a reasonable chance of finding that the bug I am fixing is actually a bug in my code, not someone else's.
