Good grief, you are not forced to uae Debian! Please leave the only stable distro alone, and just use one more to your style.

I assure you, enormous sums of people prefer Debian the way it is. I do not, ever, want "new stuff" in stable. I have better things to do than fight daily change in a distro, it's beyond a waste of time and just silly.

If you want new things, leave stable alone, and just run Debian testing! It updates all the time, and is still more stable than most other distros.

Debian is the way it is on purpose, it is not a mistake, not left over reasoning, and nothing you said seems relevant in this regard.

For example, there is no better way than backporting, when it comes to maintaining compatibility. And that's what many people want.
