There is a thread about choosing a different repo if you have have installed a fresh 2009.2 try Youcantoo repo
Youcantoo's repo is "frozen" to allow users who want to carry on using 2009.2 but it has no updates on it (no 2009.2 repo have been updated for a few months now)
If people install 2009.x from scratch they can use Youcantoo's frozen repo to update the packages BUT the users systems will only be updated to when the repo was last updated, i.e.. a few months ago
Its too much to ask of Tex and the gang to try and run 2 distro's which have different core desktops and packages
AND support 2 different user groups
