I guess once 0.22 is released we will get an 0.22-fixes. One question
is: "Will this ticket make it into 0.22-fixes?"

If there is a possibility that the ticket will get into fixes, the
distro does matter, because some distros are more adept at keeping
their packages up to date with -fixes, some are slower.

But if the ticket is never going to make it into -fixes, but only 0.23
(or 0.never) then you are right, it won't matter what distro you get.
You simply then have to patch and compile your own, find someone who
compiles his own, or run trunk. Many people don't want to go down that
path.
