But Sarge should have been released a year ago, more or less. Changing from
XFree86 to XOrg is absolutely not a trivial change. Just try to compile and
make work XOrg on one of the not so common architechtures.

I was wondering this question myself, but don't tell us that if you don't like
the answer, is a wrong answer.
The complexity of Debian, in terms of quality and size, is many times
forgotten.

See number 4.
How to serve the users, is (yes, again) something complex, and there are lots
of opinions about it. If you have got good ideas about a release cycle well
suited for desktop users, and for servers sysadmins, please, speak. Some
release proposals are in the debian wiki.

If someone told you to shut up, is because Debian developers can be offended
when you say things without considering *all* the facts, not just the ones
you are interested in.

If you are so proud of libranet, why do you care about Debian? Or the problem
is that Libranet is Debian based, and not the opposite?
Disclaimer: I am NOT a Debian developer, so I'm not personally offended by
your words. However, they can be offensive to people who work very tough in
Debian, and just as volunteers.
