By "infrequently updated", I mean software where it is "ok" to be running versions released months/years ago in the official repos and not having to resort to 3rd party repos to get more up to date software.

Nearly everyone has to use 3rd party software at some point though. There just isn't a good solution for this on Linux. Too many people assume Linux users only use open source software that is in the official package repos. It totally excludes commercial software, niche stuff, etc.
