One of the few exceptions to the SSC-first rule that I am aware of is 
-fitstat-.  I always have to tell my students to get the version 
stored on J. Scott Long's site (as part of his -spost- packages) 
rather than the SSC version.  Perhaps there are other instances where 
personally maintained sites have versions that are as new or newer as 
what is on SSC.
