You're comparing two different issues, software freedom and security. 100% free distros will always be better than those that provide less because, even if the distro itself is slow at providing updates, people that want those updates can compile and install them themselves while retaining their 100% freedom status. However, the new infastructure that was discussed elsewhere will hopefully help with this because it will automatically compile things... but things often fail to compile from source and need some work, so it won't eliminate work being needed but hopefully it'll help... especially if people take a more active role in helping with the distro, since anyone's able to get an account and start working on stuff.
