I hesitated giving the example of Mandriva :p . You're absolutely right. 
  There is a choice to make. Do you want extremely stable distribution 
or do you want latest features/packages ? The two are not really 
compatible . That's why people used to use Debian Stable as a server but 
for myself, using it as a Desktop dist would just piss me off.
