Sight.For release cycles, "faster" and "more reliable" tend to pull in opposite directions. (The sooner you release, the less time you've had to check it all fits together.)
*I* know that, the server guys know it, and a quick look at the bug announcements for RedHat, SuSE etc. show it,too. But when time pressure comes in to make a decission, well, Debian is just not an option. So, whatever the quality is - and *I* am very convinced here - the second best solution will be choosen. And will stay "forever". You just don't change the OS on doozens or even hundreds of live servers.
