Sure, but it works both ways: sometimes getting up-to-date software from upstream fixes bugs that in a more "stable" distro you'd have to wait much longer for. For example, I used to have to install the proprietary nvidia driver, but one day I upgraded Fedora and the latest nouveau driver just worked. There's a lot to be said for that.
