In which case was it an actual problem for you? What about switching to testing or unstable?

In my case I like to mix stable with a few packages from testing / unstable if needed. The current stable is relatively recent, so right now I just have golang from testing for instance.

I agree with the sibling comment that it's more of a feature: it's more efficient for me to work around the bugs / missing features of packages that won't be update for a while and stick to these workarounds, rather than constantly adapt to new bugs (even if old ones are fixed) or to changing features.
