The problem is the mismatch between what distrbuters want and what the
postgres team wants. For distributors "stable" means no behavioural
changes, whereas the postgresql team does bug fixes, some of which
definitly make behavioural changes that would make previously working
programs break.
Backports is usually a good compromise.
Have a nice day,
