Most of the -- what I'll call -- binary distributions of Linux tend to 
have a fairly small range of any given versions of software in the 
repositories provided by the Linux distribution provider.

There is nothing that prevents you from sourcing other versions, binary 
or compile it yourself, from other providers.  But some people are 
unwilling to accept the risk.

I'm used to seeing ~current, down level, and maybe bleeding level in the 
beta / early adopters distro releases.
