Arch Linux keeps falling behind in package updates, basic packages like gdb and LLVM are newer in Fedora then in Arch, and Bash is newer in DEBIAN then in Arch. Why have package updates fallen so far behind?

All right, enough of this debian bashing, this isn’t 2007 anymore, they’re actually using up-to-date packages and kernels, you’ll need to find someone else to kick around now.
I … liked… arch for a while, but they broke a few times (library dependency failure, think it was expat) and I’m not in this just for smug.
Gentoo did the same, but probably going back to them as a hybrid distro, debian as the base, gentoo as the lxc working distro with some DE apps.
Have a ton of cores, gentoo should be fun.
I just kind of sigh these days when I see Debian FUD. It’s as up to date as any, basically a rolling release, solid as hell. I think the issue is it just freaking works and people like to dick around with their distro instead of actually using it.
Oh I used to bash it too back when it was years behind the times.
But the last few years they’ve kept their cadence tight, and have made a really top-tier distro, the best now imho, because it just works, and nails all the basics perfectly.
It’s so no-nonsense it makes rhel look sloppy.
