Look at the facts:
coreutils
newer version released 2 years ago
bash
newer version released 3 years ago
git
newer version released 2 years ago
These are major packages, not just "user X favorite package". Several people
including myself have offered to update them, only to be met with "Sorry, I am
maintainer not you. I will do it when I get time". It gets old after a while.
