Not completely true. You can configure fink to use the "unstable" 
gnuplot. I have been using all unstable installs, without significant 
problems, but I'm not really working these things that hard. Info on how 
to do this is on the fink web site. Essentially, you edit the fink.conf 
file and make the Trees: line read

Trees: local/main unstable/main unstable/crypto unstable/bootstrap 
stable/main stable/crypto stable/bootstrap local/bootstrap
(all one line).

You may have to do a fink selfupdate to see the updated packages 
available. On the web site, they discuss how to do this for a single 
package.
