Interesting question. Sadly, for a long, long while, the development process of Debian has been slower than a dead snail nailed to the floor. The inability, or indecision to actually include new technologies seems to be highly present across Debian itself. That said - when Debian implements things, it usually implements them a helluva lot better than other distributions. The goal of Debian is for security and stability, and unfortunately (imho) that will counterbalance innovation and the inclusion of the latest & greatest. Just my 2.2c inc. GST worth!
