Thanks for the explanation. You confirmed what I've already noticed - update repository is "stable to death", so user have to track many BS repos to get fairly up to date system. Maybe I'm spoiled by other distros where update repositories use to get real updates (which often happens to be really important). But OK, I can live with that... :-)
That's at least a decision the user can go for himself; a newer version does not always mean less problems. But if you want to be on the bleeding edge, Factory is the right one ;) but there you should be aware: you get all the nice and new naughty things: be prepared to not have the system usable once in a while.
