Re: [Evolution] downloads page

Arch Linux does use a real rolling release model, not such a pseudo
thingy as Debian calls rolling release, so it's always the current
release, resp. too keep Arch stable, stuff first is in a testing
repository, so there might be a short delay. I don't know if apps like
Evolution are in testing too, or if it's just for important core stuff.

GNOME is a project available by quasi all distros, it isn't something
like e.g. MATE, so it's wise to use GNOME stuff from the distro's
official repositories, to avoid issue.

There's nothing bad with distros that ship with "outdated" software, as
long as it's ensured, that this software does work. People who need
latest features should use a distro providing this, while keeping the
system stable.

I could live with older _stable_ versions from Evolution, but I need
current libraries to build audio software, since Linux (userspace) treat
pro-audio as an orphan and there are other reasons, why I prefer Arch
Linux over other also good distros.

It would be in the interest of an user to chose a distro regarding to
needs and not regarding to fan base emotions. All major distros with a
huge community are good, when chosen regarding to the needs. No user
base, no community = crap.
