dmo is usually ahead, the hate is politics & epoch
The longest I have seen dmo broke was about 4 hours for the packages I use (since 2002), the last version was when mythtv was at version 24, that was a long time ago (version 30 is stable, 31 experimental).
I love mentioning it, because 7 heavy used forums (both UK & US) prove that if it breaks as much as debian says it breaks, these forums would have a flood of pissed off members and that is not the case.
Threr are actually more forums if you include the AV and the like forums that also have mythtv & kodi (dmo), but the major 7 are used everyday
