That would be *horrible* for all the serious users. We would have to support the previous *two* releases, because upgrade == downtime and a large corporate environment won't tolerate upgrades more often than once a year, and would rather have them less frequent than that. Supporting two stable releases at once is not feasible. We have enough trouble with one. 12-18 months is a decent timeframe. Any less is too fast. Anything up to 24 months is still comfortable. Longer and it starts to get annoying. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
