The idea was to have the 4.2 stable branch maintained in the regular 
distributions and provide updates of the core packages once 4.3 is in 
usable state (non-core stuff like xfmedia, libexo, terminal, etc. is 
still updated regularly). Now, the 4.2 packages were imported into 
Ubuntu universe some time ago. And 4.2 should also be in Debian testing 
in the not so far future as well.
