The recent stable release was only a couple of months ago, with the freeze six

months before that. It will be another 2 years till the next update.
Stable is very stable, which is exactly how it should be, and if what you want

is in stable - great. But for example the Pd stuff you mention won't move in to

stable until 2013, till then its in sid, and maybe backports to squeeze.
