It may be one way to get a rough idea of which distros are bleeding edge and which are more conservative, plus. Also, if you scroll down, which repositories don't contain the package you are after.
Some examples:
2.83 isn’t even final yet, and it’s listed for a number of distros -- maybe just two distro groupings if you look at the connections between them. I had a look for this package of mine <https://repology.org/project/python:dbussy/versions> that has made it into Debian. And I see the Arch version is already in use by another package <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/discordrp-mpris-git/>. Guess that means I have to give some thought to API stability from now on...
