Umm, I think it's quite reasonable to run a distribution of older
software that has gone through a long testing period and works well
together, and then to compile more recent versions of selected packages
of particular interest.
In my experience, every time I've run a more cutting-edge distro, I
inevitably end up hitting bugs in software I don't care about when I'm
just trying to get something else done, leaving me less time to work on
the packages I choose to focus on. YMMV, of course.
