> Packages being months behind the latest version is a feature, not a bug

I struggle to convince devs and management about this in the past few years. Everyone's gone crazy about latest and greatest set of features with no respect for stability, maintainability, etc.

To be fair upgrading very old libraries because you hit a fixed bug to very new libraries can be a long process... but I never have worked on a project that stayed on new libraries continuously so... not sure how it works the other way.
