Older software should always have fewer bugs simply due to maturity. Ie. progress isn't free. The best way to mitigate that is where distros like Debian stable come in. They help gate these developments, releasing more well tested versions of the software and fixing any critical issues that come up with it over the time of the release.

My distribution is based on Debian. Systemd is still a thorn.
