Well, consider Perl, for example. Making 5.10.1 a default preference would 
break binary packaged perl modules built for 5.8.8, so technically some 
massive PR bump (most probably DISTRO_PR) is needed when updating to 5.10.1. 
Forcing distro maintainers to do that is not nice, IMO.

Although the way it is now Perl 5.10.1 seems to be rarely used, which is also 
not nice. Probably, there is no way to solve this problem for everyone. With 
D_P it's not used much, removing D_P is asking for "YOU BROKE MY BUILD!!!" 
love messages from random corners.
