If the maintainer of the software has issued it as a stable official
release, the distros should support it unless they know that particular
release is at fault.
It comes down to a struggle over social place. I think it is
presumptuous of distros, and harmful to the community, for them to
discourage downloading the latest version by the official maintainer
because of their desire that the user come to them for everything. The
maintainer, not the distro, should be telling the user what to use. If
the maintainer makes mistakes, they should live with them. For the
kernel, the maintainer is Marcelo.
