What do you mean bigger vulnerabilitirs to worry about in Debian stable?

Mostly a joke about him calling it "ancient", but there may be some unpatched vulnerabilities in older software. Though there could also be some new ones in newest versions.
Still, unless it's Alpha/Beta/RC, it's probably better to keep it up-to-date.

Debian patches security vulnerabilities in stable. They don’t change the version numbers or anything but they do fix security holes.

Debian responds to security issues in stable within a fairly short window. They have a dedicated security team.
