The stability of the Applications Program Interface (API) and the Applications Binary Interface (ABI).
I'd recommend you ask your AI companion to explain what that means since you obviously wouldn't know, being the idiot and all. But updating packages effects API and ABI consistency, and thus, a direct consequence to lack of stability. This is why "unchanging packages" and "shipping stable packages" are essentially the same thing. This is also why both debian, RHEL, and SLE go through rigorous testing phases spanning atleast 2 years before they decide to upgrade packages. To maintain such stability. I it were possible to maintain such stable APIs and ABIs these big corpos that build server software that the entire world literally depends on would have jumped at it before anyone else.
Your bank uses RHEL, for example. Because it achieves that level of stability, which to this day no rolling distro has come even close to emulating.
