Yes *within* the scope of the existing distro . Every distribution has certain aims and release cycles. If you want bleeding edge You have some choices *Use Ubuntu *Use Gentoo *Compile packages from SVN
But if you want to see a particular package in the latest version in your favourite distro . Please join the team and be a package manager . Then it all depends on how best you could convince the other developers that "the latest version will improve the usablity and will not break the system" .
