Desktop use is usually not sensitive to a moving target. If stable
versions of xfree change on my personal desktop, big deal - one emerge
and I am finished.

If there is a moving target for my server class machine(s), then I, as
an IT adminstrator, must evaluate the new version, check what has
changed, make sure it still works, and then apply all of that to each
and every one of my applicable servers. (i.e, a ton of work)

The goal here is to minimize that process. If I, as an IT administrator,
know that the only things changing when my packages update are either
security fixes or critical updates, my workload is reduced considerably,
and I rest easy.

Cheers,
//zhen
