No, your claim was that integrators get hate for not immediately integrating upstream changes. Which is patently false, because users would rather have the packages tested for breaking changes and either patched or have a deprecation warning, rather than having the changes blindly integrated and having their legs pulled out from under them by a breaking change. No one is hating on distro packagers for taking a slight delay to verify and test things.
I brought up Arch because they get a lot of hate for exactly doing that and consequently pulling people's legs out from under them.
The existence of some users desiring stability does not in any way contradict the claim that maintainers get hate for not immediately integrating upstream changes. In particular, distros have more than 2 users -- they can do different things.
