We have much to gain from newer versions - just look at gitweb change log.
But my assumption here was that someone will keep the built from source
tools updated. I don't have a problem alerting the list when new
versions come out.

If, as Roland suggested, we'll be stuck at this version, its better
to stick with distro-supplied ones, assuming that *that* is updated
in a timely fashion.

So, I guess the question is how is the sytsem supported/updated?
