Basically, the goal of the upstream vendor (and thus CentOS) is not to track the latest and greatest packages, but to provide a stable package set. If new versions of a program are released with security fixes, these fixes are backported to the version that the upstream provider provides. Just throwing in a new version as an update to a stable distribution release could cause all kinds of havoc. The policy of the upstream provider is written down in more detail at: http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_backport.html -- Daniel
