now that last comment definitely constitutes a flame-bait. GNU/Linux software loosely belongs to the 'alpha' software category and they are constantly changing and evolving. as have been previously mentioned a countless of times, a distro is a collection of software projects. if distro A used project gamma version x and it was known that that particular version has a security catch _after_ it was released, then you as a non-compulsory user has the option to patch it or not.
saying a distro suck because they included a project that sends out patches is pretty much a trolling act when the distro developers have tried their best to produce a good release. if you dont want to use *relatively* bleeding edge software then dont. do i say debian suck because most packages in the newest release is old? i would even dare hint it as i have great respect for all those who volunteered time, skills and effort in its development. GNU/Linux is all about choice, there are lots of projects for a certain task. choose what fits you and criticize constructively what does not. if you did not pay the cook, dont damn the food. *now puts on flame-retardant armor* ciao!
