That's not an issue you know. Well if you want updated
packages you have to upgrade or build it yourself and hopefully they
have been fixed. Again if not, file a bug report.

Please try to understand that bugs are *always* there in
software. Question is : are they known issues or unknown issues? Now
if you think you found an bug please file a bug report. Somebody will
fix it, and some future release will have one less bug.
And just because a application/software doesnot crash
for you or you don't see something quirky while using it doesnot mean
that it doesnot have any bugs. Thats such a false belief. If that was
true, all distros would have repo full of bug-free software which is
completely untrue or what is the point of exsistence of Ubuntu
launchpad/bug tracking application or OpenSuse bugzilla or Fedora's
bugzilla and similarly such mechanism for various distros.
Developers write the software, they do testing but they
can't possibly test all usage paths of random user(s). When a certain
user bumps into such a path that crashes the application or something
unhappy happens to the software, and if it can reproduced the user is
expected to submit a bug report. Developer(s) can look into it then
but he surely can't do anything if he doesn't know about the existence
of the issue which is completely possible because of different
environment, usage paths et al.

I have nothing at all to say to above statement.
