that is exactly my point. plus we can't always look at what other distro's do, because they aren't necessarily "right" or "wrong". and indeed, there is no need to have 2 versions, and twice the QA. (unless if there is enough people who want to put time on it, i think the current maintainer has already quite enough work.) consider even the poll from a while ago, where it was quite clear that people wanted support and stability, not the latest versions. and the more features we have, the more risk of new bugs. I don't like exceptions, and this is a good reason to get rid of one.
