Then maybe just help fix the mouse issue and keep all the other applications
on a newer version, I would suggest.
Sadly there are limits on how much you can update the software, since the OS
work on a synergistic fashion, so when core packages version limit other
versions then you can't go beyond without manually removing code/features to
allow interoperability.
This is part of the stability - bleeding edge trade, if you try Arch, you'll
have the latest version on everything and also pass a big chunck of the time
fixing configuration issues instead of dealing with actual work.
