Right, you can fix your versions if you care, but you don't have a million keyboards "tuning" a fixed version set to be play well with each other - so you don't get the same robustness I know I can get any software to run on Ubuntu 18.04. Everyone supports those packages as their specific versions Having multiple versions or the same package sounds like a disaster. That's the diamond problem. LibA depends on LibB and LibC. Those both depend on LibD at different versions... What then? These rolling distros generally target one arch and one kernel bc the whole thing is fragile. Things like OpenSSL have bugs even between minor versions numbers once you start looking bigger
