You must balance availability of features, stability, manageability, security, package dependencies, application/service deployment and maintenance and more.

As a simple example, if there is a requirement to run OpenLDAP *as a server* on a CentOS OS, the sysadmin MUST find *how* to run the latest version (which is the only "approved" one for OpenLDAP server deployments by the OpenLDAP project). Deploying OpenLDAP using the packages available by either CentOS 5 or 6 repos is unacceptable.
Ah, but "the latest" is a) a moving target, and b) not what I would ever use in a development or production environment, nor at home, unless I really did want to spend time debugging the system. In fact, I'd normally *NOT* ever install an x.0 release - I always wait for at least x.0.1 or x.1, so that all the bugs found by the early adopters have mostly been squashed.
