Indeed, but some people who use certain distros are scared shitless of using source packages and will insist on using a several yo version because thats all <insert distro X or Y here> provides, the 1.2 branch is rock solid stable and time proven, if distro X/Y only oifferes 1.0.x, well, that says a lot about distro X/Y, we all know who X 'n Y are, without mentioning names :)
Seriously, the weekend is upon use. Nothing like a good flame war over whose OS is superior.
I've never understood the OS flame war mentality. Each OS has its strengths and its weaknesses. You pick your OS poison based on the strengths you desire, and live with the warts. Every OS has warts, some more than others, but they all have 'em.
