Could you elaborate a bit on the particular situation? Why wouldn't you
go with the latest upstream?
It's always better to go with the latest version unless in an
exceptional case.
In this generality, it's untrue. Apply common sense to decide what to do.
I just wanted to know whether it is a MUST since it is
not clearly elaborated in the Package Review Guideline [1]
Definitely not. As others already expressed it's a "SHOULD".
It's common sense to find a compromise between what an upstream claims
to be "stable", what users expect and own experience with a package.
Blindly packaging up some unstable, API/UI-breaking an
overzealous/hyper-active "stuff" doesn't help anybody.
