Like setting up urpmi on your system, it's a bit of work up front and then it's easy to maintain. Do you think these guys work on maintaining those mirrors full-time, every day? No. That's why they get so outdated. It's a hobby for them. Some set them up and don't touch them for a long time - hence you still get Firefox from 6 months ago.

I get this: instead of Fedora Core or Ubuntu saying "we'll release the next version when it's done", they say "we'll release every 6 months." Meaning if something's not fixed, oh well, our next scheduled release is 6 months from now and hopefully we can get it fixed by then.
Their (and others') release schedules are dictated by an arbitrary, frequent timeline, vs the condition of their software. Nowhere but in Linux la-la land have I heard of this.
When buttholes like Kelsey B. devote several posts to telling me how stupid I am, and that the software works perfectly (it doesn't), I'm going to have to respond.
