No, it's a Debian *policy* issue.  The problem is the absurdly long
time between releases, so it's very hard to use stable on halfway-new
equipment, or if you want halfway-modern functionality.  (For
instance, I'm being forced to "upgrade" [downgrade in stability] to
testing soon, just because my new motherboard has hardware not
supported by potato.)
