Hard disagree on that. You will be tempted to use the latest shiny features that will be dropped in a few versions because the design was flawed at its core. If you develop, and not just for yourself, then make sure your developing environment is a Debian stable with only packages from the main repository or at least that your testing environment includes such a setup. You can make a tiny few exceptions for very important libraries, if you really must, but only if you install them from sources. Using the latest versions with easy packages might make your life easier, but it will also likely make your software suck. Regards, -- Nicolas George
