why is Ardour pretty outdated in stable and not in testing?

I understand it. But my point still is there...
Also maybe Debian can be a bit less conservative when such a core app is 
not in stable and stable releases go out the door after years! I guess 
some packages are added in Etch after a while.

But main point is, that Ardour should hit testing after a while.
