I'm not complaining. I'm looking for a better way of upstream -> end-user.
What I was trying to tell was: if openldap team could backport fixes (without new features) to old versions - then distributors could update packages not breaking their policy.
The thing is that I see clear split to conservative anti-distro point - "compile yourself" and distro-oriented "stay with bugs".
I don't think you understand software versionsing:
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
There is no reason for distributions not to update to a later patch level. "backporting" fixes inside a release makes no sense.. it is still the 2.4 release.
