I didn't complain about "bleeding edge" sofware which we anywhere don't have (Gimp, Xorg, LibreOffice and all dependencies for those applications and more and more which I don't use and I don't need) but I complain about freezing ports too early before new release came out and after that rebuilt 5000 ports for example just because png new version is coming out.
