If you know of a newer repo that has the package you need in it, you should look at "pinning". It allows you to add new sources but only pull from them if you have to and if you requested them. It lets you partially upgrade systems. So like in Debian you could choose to stay stable or testing, but pull specific unstable packages as you find you need them.
