Why are you obsessed with updates or specific distributions? It’s rarely, if ever an issue. Most package manager won’t break dependency; they’d rather not install an update anyway. And most system package manager are mature enough to not fail at this basic task, regardless of distro. There can be inconsistencies with flatpack sometimes, but that’s because they’re expected to sync with system versions of some libraries (especially graphic drivers), but that won’t happen unless you go out of your way to make it happen, and again, it’s not distro specific.

I’m talking about actual projects, adding actual bugs, that they find out are valid, and need fixed, in areas of their code that didn’t need a change to begin with. It’s a very real thing that seem to become more and more prevalent these days. And it has nothing to do with your distribution or your system updates.
