maintain is not solely put new version
Sigh.
Some of people are complaining about Debian 7.0 uses linux 3.2. Hey... do you know which kernel version RHEL6 (and CentOS) uses? :-p
Maintain package is not solely put newer version to repo. If you put some package to repo, it should be maintained for 3 years (at least). Hey, you - can you do it? - pick patches to security vulnerabilities and apply it without any regressions 3 years, and maintain newer version for next release.
I know newer version is more attractive for you, but there's a reason to do so.

- If you want to use latest kernel, you can pull it from git repo
- If you want to use newer kernel version without loong compiling time, then you can pull it from experimental repo easily.
- If you want to make Debian's release kernel newer, then you should work for it - not just complain for it. To get something, someone must pay something for it
