That’s a false dichotomy.

Firstly, this is about the core platform, not third-party libraries.

Secondly, I absolutely do keep all my projects in lock-step with the latest stable platform version. My point is that I do that deliberately and in a controlled way, decoupled from my system package manager’s decisions.

I certainly don’t appreciate waking up to dozens of unexpected compile errors and warnings due to some random system Python version bump.
