I know the argument that distribs backport but there should be longer support, especially since there are constant syntax changes in minor versions that might break things. This is valid for python, php and a bunch of other languages.
Sure, in shiny startups willing to break things using the shiniest objects it's not an issue but in practice there may be other constraints
and "just let the distrib maintainers handle it through backports" is not imho the best advice
