1++ I strongly agree and suggest that we represent the silent majority of long term Debian users. You cannot introduce packages that have only been around for a year or two into Stable without diluting what Stable means. Please don't. If I want bleeding edge I'll Backport it or use Backports - with all the risks and hassles it can bring to a complex, reliable, robust, and Production critical box. And there's always Experimental and Unstable - which is where packages that *are* Unstable or Experimental belong. Debian is *not* a Desktop distro. Let's keep what works, and has done for several decades. There are no Desktop "wars" - except in the mind of users with General delusions.
