I included release candidates, when they were advertised by upstream
before others.

Even if many packages are just a minor version behind, some others are
really outdated, and this sums to about half the packages not being up
to date.

This may sound a bit too hard, but isn't it the maintainer work to keep
in touch with upstream ?
