    That only applies to unstable distros. Stable distros, like debian, maintain their own versions of packages.

    Debian in particular, only includes security patches and changes in their packages - no new features at all.* This means risk of breakage and incompatibilitu is very low, basically nil.

    *exceot for certain packages which aren’t viable to maintain, like Firefox or other browsers.
