That's because someone already did the porting and testing for you. But what if you want the latest video and CUDA drivers?

"not afraid to fuck up anything" likely refers more to the ability to rollback the system to any (non-deleted) previous revision of the system configuration, directly from the bootloader, which means you can easily recover even from a broken kernel.

This applies regardless of whether you are packaging/updating something in the package set yourself, or using something that someone else packaged.
