He raised a lot of valid points that widely used GNU/Linux distribution is based upon. I really start to wonder why you prefer having the newest software over having stable versions that developers and administrators can rely on. But I can only assume that you haven't worked with Debian or even RPM-based distributions. I stand my point... blindly installing software that you can't get rid of and just update versions and not caring for other people's applications isn't quite admin like. On your own workstation that may be feasable. But if I break our intranet web site just because I was in the mood of updating some component I'd have a "nice" talk with my boss. Perhaps you can show some arguments telling why this is bad. The Debian developers have been discussing the whole "egg problem" for a while now because - just as we see here - people think different. And I don't claim this is the perfect solution. But Debian will never have stable versions that suddenly change in behavior. Debian of course has other components that include daily changes. So if you like a newer version of python-mako you just install it from there (the so called "testing" and "unstable" branches - although their names are misleading). It's even an automatic process to update your packages. But on my intranet server there will be the same version of Mako for two years until I find time to evaluate what has changed.
